This summer, Zach Cunningham joined the Eagles as a veteran linebacker who has played exceptionally well when allowed to shine in the middle of a defense.
Cunningham then went from added depth to starting at middle linebacker after Nakobe Dean initially went on injured reserve with a foot injury.
The veteran exited Philadelphia’s Week 12 win against Buffalo with a hamstring injury, and Cunningham missed last week’s loss to the 49ers. He was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice and now looks to be a full-go on Thursday.

Cunningham has 71 tackles, four passes defensed, and a fumble recovery while starting nine of the Eagles’ 11 games this season.
More importantly, the Philadelphia defense is more efficient and better against the pass when he’s in the lineup.
