Instead of holding a walkthrough to kick off the week, the Philadelphia Eagles held full practice as they prepare to face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17.

Three starters did not participate in Thursday's practice, including cornerback Darius Slay (knee).

Below is the Eagles' first injury report from Thursday's practice:

Player	Injury	Thursday
LB Zach Cunningham	Knee	DNP
G/C Cam Jurgens	Pectoral	DNP
CB Darius Slay	Knee	DNP
S Reed Blankenship	Concussion	LP

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

Injury report observations:

Slay kicked off last week by not practicing for the first two days with a rest day/knee injury and played limited snaps against Dallas. The Eagles need him healthy for playoffs, so this lingering injury is concerning.
On the bright side, it was reported that he had a big box of gummy bears in his presence today.

Linebacker Zach Cunningham is back on the injury report with a new knee injury. Cunningham did not play in Week 13 because of a hamstring injury, which is a reason why the Eagles signed Shaq Leonard.
Right guard Cam Jurgens (pectoral) briefly exited Sunday's loss against Dallas but then returned to finish the game,
Safety Reed Blankenship (concussion) also left Sunday's matchup early, though he did not return. The Eagles have an extra rest day this week, so they're confident he will clear protocol by Monday or earlier.
