Eagles' Jonathan Greenard: Limited in consecutive sessions
Rotowire
Greenard (pectoral) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
Greenard has logged a pair of limited practice sessions during the Eagles' Week 3 prep for Monday night's game against the Bears. The strongside linebacker logged three limited sessions in Week 2 before remaining sidelined in the team's 24-20 win over the Titans. Unless Greenard upgrades to a full participant in Saturday's session, the 29-year-old will likely continue to wait for his 2026 debut.

Eagles' Jonathan Greenard: Practices Thursday
Rotowire
Greenard (pectoral) was able to practice on a limited basis Thursday.
The pass rusher has yet to make his regular-season debut since getting traded to Philadelphia in the offseason, but he has now opened the practice week on a positive note. That said, Greenard was also a limited participant leading up to the Eagles' Week 2 matchup with the Titans before ultimately sitting out of the game. If Greenard can upgrade to full participation before Monday's matchup with the Bears, it should be a sign that he's on track to play.

Eagles' Jonathan Greenard: Won't play Week 2
Rotowire
Greenard (pectoral) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Greenard was limited in all three Week 2 practice sessions due to a pectoral strain that he sustained during offseason workouts before the start of training camp. He didn't open the regular season on the active/PUP list, so the Eagles appear confident that Greenard is close to making his 2026 debut, which could come as soon as Week 3 against the Bears on Monday, Sept. 28. Jalyx Hunt, Arnold Ebiketie and A.J. Epenesa will all operate in elevated roles at edge alongside Nolan Smith for as long as Greenard is shelved.

Per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Greenard said Thursday that he was close to being available for game action again, but he's still not sure whether that will be the case in Week 2. His status on the Eagles' official injury report Friday may provide some clarity on that front.

Rotowire
Greenard (pectoral) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Greenard logged a limited practice session last Wednesday before downgrading to no participation last Thursday and ultimately being ruled out ahead of last Sunday's 24-22 win over the Commanders.

Rotowire
Greenard (pectoral) did not participate at practice Thursday.
Greenard was activated off the active/PUP list at the end of August, but his status for Week 1 is still up in the air. He'll probably have to log a full practice Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Eagles' Jonathan Greenard: Practices in limited capacity Wednesday
Rotowire
Greenard (pectoral) was limited during Wednesday's practice, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Greenard was activated off the active/PUP list Aug. 30, though that doesn't necessarily mean he will be available for Week 1 versus the Commanders. The 29-year-old, who was acquired by Philadelphia from Minnesota in April, appeared in 12 regular-season games for the Vikings in 2025, accumulating 38 total tackles, 3.0 sacks and one forced fumble.

Eagles' Jonathan Greenard: Activated from active/PUP list
Rotowire
The Eagles activated Greenard (pectoral) off the active/PUP list Aug. 30, Chris McPherson of the team's official site reports.
Greenard is listed on the Eagles' active roster but remains questionable with a pectoral injury he suffered while lifting weights preparing for training camp in July. The shift to the active roster instead of the reserve/PUP list implies the team thinks the linebacker will be ready for game action sooner rather than later, though it remains unclear if Greenard will be able to suit up for the Week 1 contest with the Commanders on Sunday.

Eagles' Jonathan Greenard: Cause for concern
Rotowire
The Eagles are worried Greenard (pectoral) could miss the Week 1 divisional showdown with the Commanders due to injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Greenard remains on the active/PUP list with a pectoral injury he sustained in the offseason while lifting weights. The starting strongside linebacker was initially projected to be ready to go around the late preseason, but it appears the 29-year-old's recovery process is behind schedule. If Greenard is unable to suit up for Week 1, Jalyx Hunt will likely start for the team at strongside linebacker.

Eagles' Jonathan Greenard: Out for at least two more weeks
Rotowire
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Tuesday that Greenard (pectoral) won't be back at practice "for another couple weeks, at least," Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Greenard opened training camp on the active/PUP list due to a pectoral injury that he sustained during the offseason while lifting weights. The 2020 third-rounder is not ready to return to practice and appears to have a minimal chance of suiting up in any of the Eagles' three preseason games, with the last exhibition contest taking place Friday, Aug. 28 against the Bengals. Greenard was acquired by the Eagles from the Vikings in late April and is expected to lead Philadelphia's pass-rushing group that also includes Jalyx Hunt, Nolan Smith, A.J. Epenesa and Arnold Ebiketie.

Eagles' Jonathan Greenard: Placed on PUP with pec strain
Rotowire
The Eagles placed Greenard on the active/PUP list Wednesday with a strained pectoral, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Greenard suffered the injury lifting weights ahead of the start of training camp, but it's not expected to be a long-term issue for the Eagles' star edge rusher. Philadelphia acquired Greenard from the Vikings ahead of the 2026 Draft and signed him to a new four-year, $98 million deal. The 29-year-old recorded just 3.0 sacks across 12 regular-season games last season but posted a combined 24.5 sacks during the 2023-24 regular seasons.

Eagles' Jonathan Greenard: Dealt to Philadelphia
Rotowire
The Eagles have traded a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft as well as a 2027 third-round pick to Minnesota in exchange for Greenard (shoulder) and the 244th overall pick of this year's draft, Lindsey Young of the Vikings' official site reports.
Greenard also is signing a four-year extension worth up to $100 million with his new team, per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz. The veteran is coming off a lackluster 2025 campaign in which he recorded just 38 tackles (19 solo), including 3.0 sacks, across 12 regular-season appearances, but he totaled 24.5 sacks across the 2023 and 2024 seasons and will now be a prime bounceback candidate under Philadelphia defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Greenard is recovering from season-ending shoulder surgery undergone in December.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Could be traded
Rotowire
The Vikings are open to trading Greenard (shoulder), Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Greenard could be a cap casualty for Minnesota. The 28-year-old racked up 24.5 sacks across the 2023 and 2024 seasons but had a down season in 2025, recording just 38 tackles (19 solo), including 3.0 sacks, across 12 games.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
The Vikings placed Greenard (shoulder) on injured reserve Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Wednesday that Greenard would undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, and the latter's placement on injured reserve confirms that he will be sidelined for the rest of the 2025 campaign. The veteran linebacker will shift his focus into progressing enough in his recovery to be fully healthy for the start of the 2026 season.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Done for season
Rotowire
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Greenard (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.
Greenard missed two games due to the shoulder injury he picked up Week 10 and then attempted to play through the issue in three consecutive contests, including Sunday's win over the Cowboys. However, the injury is ultimately severe enough that he'll have to now undergo treatment. Greenard will conclude his second season in Minnesota with 38 tackles, three sacks, three passes defensed and one forced fumble in 12 games.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Set to suit up
Rotowire
Greenard (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Greenard will look to string together consecutive starts after missing Week 11 and Week 12 with a shoulder injury. The linebacker was on a snap count last week, logging just 22 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps. If the shoulder injury is still a lingering issue this trend could continue, meaning Dallas Turner will likely get a healthy snap share similar to Week 13.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Still dealing with shoulder injury
Rotowire
Greenard (shoulder) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Greenard returned to the lineup last week after missing the previous two games with a shoulder injury, but he played just 15 defensive snaps, his lowest total of the year. It's possible that this will be a lingering issue, which could keep him on a snap count once again in Week 14 versus the Commanders.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Greenard (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Greenard logged limited practices throughout the week, making five consecutive limited practices since he left the Week 10 game against the Ravens with a shoulder injury. The consistent stringing together of practices means there is a good chance the weakside linebacker is able to suit up for Sunday's game. If Greenard can't go, Dallas Turner is in line for the same uptick in defensive snaps that he saw in Week 11 and Week 12.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Inactive versus Green Bay
Rotowire
Greenard (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.
As expected, Greenard has been ruled out for the Vikings' critical divisional showdown after drawing a questionable tag following back-to-back limited sessions to end Week 12 prep. This will be the star pass rusher's second straight absence, allowing Dallas Turner to draw another start opposite Andrew Van Ginkel again.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Questionable to face Packers
Rotowire
Greenard (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Greenard has a chance to return Sunday after sitting out Minnesota's Week 11 loss to the Bears. After recording at least 12.0 sacks in both the 2023 and 2024 regular seasons, Greenard has only 2.0 sacks through nine appearances in 2025.
