The Eagles are getting their most important defender back, as the team officially announced the 21-day practice window for three players.
C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Robert Quinn, and Brett Toth all returned to practice ahead of the Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants on Sunday.
Pro Bowl quarterback Jalen Hurts was a limited practice participant last week while recovering from a sprained throwing shoulder. He’ll participate this week in the leadup to Sunday’s must-win matchup.
Here’s more from the Wednesday press release.
C.J. Gardner-Johnson
Gardner-Johnson has been out since suffering a lacerated kidney in the win over Green Bay. .
His six interceptions are tied with Minkah Fitzpatrick, Justin Simmons, and Tariq Woolen for most in NFL.
Robert Quinn
The Eagles acquired Quinn from the Chicago Bears in late October before the trade deadline for a fourth-round pick. He had appeared in five games for Philadelphia and had zero sacks and two tackles before going on IR.
Quinn, 32, posted a career-high 18.5 sacks in 2021 — second most in the NFL — but registered just one sack in seven games with the Bears this season before being traded.
Brett Toth
Toth can play both guard and tackle and has appeared in nine regular-season games for the Eagles over the last two years, suffering an ACL tear in last season’s Week 18 loss to the Cowboys.
