Eagles' Sanders, Johnson still day-to-day, Graham in concussion protocol
After missing Sunday's loss to the Washington Football Team, Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders, right tackle Lane Johnson, and defensive end Derek Barnett remain day-to-day.
Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said Monday that all three players will increase their practice load this week in hopes they'll be ready for Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Sanders and Barnett are dealing with hamstring injuries, while Johnson is still recovering from a minor ankle procedure.
Pederson also provided updates for multiple other players who left Sunday's game against Washington, including defensive end Brandon Graham, who's in the concussion protocol, according to The Athletic's Zach Berman.
The head coach expects edge rusher Vinny Curry and cornerback Craig James to miss significant time, according to team insider Dave Spadaro.
Curry is set to miss four weeks after injuring his hamstring, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Pederson didn't prove an update on Javon Hargrave's pectoral injury. The recently signed defensive tackle was ruled out for the season opener early last week.
Philadelphia has already lost left tackle Andre Dillard and right guard Brandon Brooks for the season, and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery isn't expected back until the end of September.
