Update: After halftime, both Darius Slay and Jordan Mailata are back on the sidelines. Mailata was seen practicing, but Driscoll still remains in the game.
In the third quarter, Eagles’ wide receiver DeVonta Smith was also injured. He was taken to the medical tent. Smith has completed two receptions for ten yards. Linebacker Patrick Johnson has also been downgraded to out for the remainder of the game.
With seconds to spare before the fourth quarter, kicker Jake Elliott was also injured when the opposing defense roughed the kicker. Elliott’s successful field goal was taken off the board, and the Eagles began at first down. Elliott is said to return.
Minutes later, right guard Isaac Seumalo was injured, holding his ankle. It appeared that Landon Dickerson stepped on him. Seumalo suffered a season-ending injury in 2021, when he played on the left. Sua Opeta will now take Seumalo’s place. He remains questionable to return to the game.
Smith has returned to the field.
Following the game, it was reported that Mailata will undergo testing tomorrow. Slay told reporters that he was “good”. There remains no word on Johnson or Seumalo.
