After holding a walkthrough on Wednesday, the Philadelphia Eagles (2-1) returned to regular practice on Thursday as they prepare to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1) in Week 4.

Three key players remain sidelined: wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring), wide receiver DeVonta Smith (concussion), and right tackle Lane Johnson (concussion).

Right guard Mekhi Becton (wrist) returned to full practice after being limited.

Starting safety Darius Slay (knee) remains on the injury report, though has been a full participant at both practices so far.

Starting edge Milton Williams (groin) was a new name to pop up on this week's injury report as a limited participant on Thursday.

Below is the Eagles' injury report following Thursday's practice:

Eagles Thursday injury report

Eagles Week 4 Injury Report Observations

Brown has not played the last two weeks due to his hamstring and his availability for Sunday remains up in the air.
Smith exited Week 3's win over the Saints with a concussion and he will need to clear protocol before practicing.
Becton has a cast on his hand and told reporters he tore a ligament in his finger, though he plans to play Sunday.
Johnson was a spectator at the walkthrough and at practice, which is a good sign as he looks to clear concussion protocol.
Slay left Sunday's game early with an unknown injury. We learned today that it was his knee. It's worth noting he had minor knee surgery last year, which is concerning if it is the same one bothering him again.
Wide receiver Britain Covey has been placed on Injured Reserve for at least six weeks after breaking a bone in his shoulder. That means more opportunities for rookie Cooper DeJean on the punt return.
Williams is something to monitor. He had a foot injury ahead of Week 2 but still played against the Atlanta Falcons.
