DeVonta Smith

Adam Caplan: “I know everybody is going to play if they can run, and DeVonta can run.”

Andrew DiCecco:”He has been on the podium and had [media] availability every single day…The Eagles have proven, whether it be A.J. Brown with his knee, that they are going to take every precaution and make sure that their players are as healthy as possible and get them to Sunday. I think DeVonta is going to be fine, it just comes down to maintenance.”

Caplan: “People were out of their minds on Jalen Carter because he was limited on Wednesday with illness. They’re good. He took all of his reps on Thursday.”

Landon Dickerson

DiCecco: “Dickerson is as tough as nails. This is a player who often throughout the season comes off the field and then he comes back on. He’s always banged up, not afraid to muck it up in the middle of that line and play physical and do a lot of the dirty work, so that’s going to happen.”

Brandon Graham

DiCecco: “The way he was talking, he’s going to play in this game. He’s almost talking almost as if, if you’re reading between the lines, this is going to be his last game.”
