Both D-linemen opened the team’s first padded practice on the injury report. The Eagles announced Barnett’s injury as “lower body” and Hargrave’s as “upper body” Monday.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that Barnett is dealing with a high ankle sprain, per sources informed of the situation.
Rapoport noted that both Barnett and Hargrave have a realistic shot at being ready by the season opener versus Washington.
Getting both Barnett and Hargrave back before Week 1 would be a boon for a deep, dynamic line in Philly that is expected to carry the defense.
