Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio was asked Wednesday whether he is concerned that Jonathan Greenard could miss the start of the regular season. His answer was a one-word “Yeah.” Greenard, Philadelphia’s $98 million free agent addition and a 2024 Pro Bowler, was placed on the physically unable to perform list on July 29 with a pectoral injury suffered during a weightlifting session before training camp opened. If he remains on PUP when the Eagles set their initial 53-man roster later this month, he would be required to sit out at least the first four regular-season games. Week 1 is a little more than three weeks away. The absence would take a significant bite out of Philadelphia’s pass rush to open the year, which softens the Eagles defense as a DFS play and improves the outlook for opposing quarterbacks and pass-catchers in September.
