The Philadelphia Eagles have some important injuries that could swing their chances in Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs. The team posted the first injury report of the week leading up to the big game, which includes some good news.

Landon Dickerson and Cam Jurgens were both listed as full participants, which is huge news considering both were dealing with ailments leading into the NFC Championship game.

Jurgens was not the starter, as he was dealing with a back issue. However, he would go in to replace Dickerson, who suffered a knee injury during the game.

Now, it appears that both are going to be good to go for the Super Bowl.

The more concerning aspect of the injury report is WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring), DT Jalen Carter (illness), RB Kenny Gainwell (knee/concussion), and DE Brandon Graham (elbow) were limited in practice today.

Graham is working his way back from a torn triceps injury he suffered but is now dealing with an elbow injury. Smith being limited due to a hamstring injury is also concerning, as he should be one of the biggest weapons the Eagles have on the receiving side of things.

Injuries are always a part of every game, but players might want to push through things considering it's the final game of the season. The Eagles do have time for their injured players to heal, as the game is still four days away.
