Eagles get boost to secondary in time for Chiefs showdown

When the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football, they'll do so with a fairly healthy roster.

Only one player did not practice all week for the Birds and that was tight end Dallas Goedert, who is dealing with a forearm injury.

Below is the Eagles' official injury report from Saturday's practice:

Player	Injury	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Game Status
TE Dallas Goedert	Forearm	DNP	DNP	DNP	OUT
S Justin Evans	Knee	LP	LP	LP	OUT
CB Bradley Roby	Shoulder	FP	FP	FP	-
C/G Cam Jurgens	Foot	FP	FP	FP	-
TE Grant Calcaterra	Concussion	FP	FP	FP	-

KEY: DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related

Injury report observations:

Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (forearm) has been watching practice from the sideline, per NBC Sports' Dave Zangaro.
Right guard Cam Jurgens (foot) has been activated from injured reserve and will take over starting duties on Monday.
Cornerback Bradley Roby (shoulder) returned to practice with the Eagles for the first time in three weeks and will be play vs. the Chiefs, which is a huge boost for their weak secondary.
Tight end Grant Calcaterra, who did not play in Week 9, is out of concussion protocol and will help fill Goedert's void vs. the Chiefs.
Safety Justin Evans (knee) was limited in practice all week and will not be available on Monday as he continues to make his way back from injured reserve.
Although he was never listed on the Eagles' injury report, quarterback Jalen Hurts had been dealing with a knee injury prior to the bye week. He is trending in the right direction after ditching his knee brace in practice all week.

The Eagles are currently 2.5-point underdogs against the Chiefs
