The Philadelphia Eagles will be nearly fully healthy when they take on the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday in Week 17.
Cornerback Darius Slay (knee) is the only player who did not practice all week and the only player who is expected to not be available this weekend.
While Slay won't be available, cornerback Avonte Maddox officially makes his return from Injured Reserve.
Two other players are questionable.
Below is the Eagles' injury report from Friday's practice:

Injury report observations:
- Slay underwent surgery on his knee last week and is expected to be out until playoffs.
- Dickerson also underwent surgery on his thumb last week and missed Monday's matchup, though he will return to his starting duties at left guard.
- Cunningham is questionable for Sunday, which could mean more action for Shaquille Leonard again.
- Okwuegbunam was new to the injury report on Friday, but there's a chance he still play.
- Morrow will be available after missing Monday's win over the Giants.
- Maddox's 21-day practice window opened last week and he practiced as a full participant. The Eagles opted not to take him off Injured Reserve against the Giants, but he will play this week against the Cardinals. He'll be a nice boost to the secondary with Slay out again.
