Multiple Eagles starters battling illness ahead of Super Bowl LII

The Philadelphia Eagles are just days away from playing in Super Bowl LII, but a number of players in the starting lineup may have to overcome a slight obstacle before the game.

Mulitple Eagles players are currently battling through a form of illness, including defensive tackle Tim Jernigan, cornerback Ronald Darby, and linebacker Mychal Kendricks, according to Tim McManus of ESPN.

It isn't the first time Eagles personnel have felt under the weather recently, as both head coach Doug Pederson and running back Kenjon Barner were also sick last week. Despite the setback, Kendricks doesn't believe it will hinder his team in any way on Sunday.

"I'm getting over it right now. It's like a cold, dude. I don't know. The whole team has it, though," Kendricks said. "I don't think it had anything to do with us being out here. I think it started sometime last week. Something we've got to get through. We'll be fine. It's not that big of a deal."

"It's that time of year. No one's dying," Kendricks added. "It's all good."
