The Philadelphia Eagles have ruled out edge rusher Jonathan Greenard for Week 1 against the Washington Commanders due to a pectoral injury. Greenard missed all of training camp after straining his pectoral while lifting weights and was placed on the active/PUP list to begin the offseason, per multiple reports.

Greenard returned to limited practice this week, and told reporters Thursday that he feels "close" to being ready to play, according to Pro Football Talk and Yahoo Sports. That assessment was apparently not enough for the Eagles to clear him for their season opener. ESPN reported that Greenard was a limited participant in practice this week before the Friday injury report ruled him out.

The exact nature of his status moving forward remains unclear from the available reporting, though his return to practice suggests a potential availability in coming weeks.
