A virus spread in the changing rooms of the Philadelphia Eagles only a few days before their confrontation of the Super Bowl Lix against the Chiefs of Kansas City.
The defensive coordinator of the Eagles, Vic Fangio, confirmed that several players had been affected, reports suggesting that at least “four or five” were currently fighting against the disease. The defensive platform of Pro Bowl, Jalen Carter, missed the practice earlier in the week due to pseudo-Grippal symptoms, but returned Thursday as a full-fledged participant. The Recruit Coin Hy Demion Mitchell has a laryngitis, while the second Nolan Smith was also not well.
Despite the concerns, the Eagles have not listed any player with the injury report on Thursday, which made it possible to fear the availability of the Sunday match in New Orleans. However, other injury problems remain. The defensive winger Brandon Graham manages a elbow problem, the star recipient Devonta Smith was limited in practice with a problem of hamstrings, and the backup center Nick Gates is confronted with a groin injury.
Philadelphia will seek its second Super Bowl title, while Kansas City aims to become the first team of the modern era of the NFL to win three consecutive championships. The Eagles will seek to avenge their loss of Super Bowl in 2023, where the chiefs preceded them 38-35 in an exciting competition.
