The Philadelphia Eagles have issued their second official injury report ahead of their highly anticipated Week 1 game against the Green Bay Packers in São Paulo, Brazil. While this report is an estimation due to the Eagles not actively practicing today, it brings disappointing news for Eagles fans. Devin White, the talented linebacker, has been listed as "Did Not Participate" and has been subsequently ruled out for Friday's game.

White's absence comes as a surprise after his limited participation in Tuesday's practice due to an ankle injury. The injury occurred during previous training sessions, shattering initial expectations of him being a Week 1 starter. Reports have revealed that Nakobe Dean was actually slated to be the Eagles' starting MIKE linebacker before White's injury was announced.

There were even rumors circulating amongst Eagles insiders, suggesting that White's name might appear in trade discussions as the team reduced its roster from 90 players down to 53. Zack Baun and Nakobe Dean showcased impressive performances during training camp, further complicating White's chances of securing a significant role in the defense. Missing the season opener only adds to the uncertainty surrounding his future with the team.

White's training camp performance has been less than stellar, although his athleticism did shine through at times. On the other hand, Dean had a rough start but finished the summer strong, catching the attention of coaches, including Vic Fangio. An ongoing battle for the linebacker position has been acknowledged by Fangio, who prefers settling on two full-time starters instead of a rotation. This presents an ideal opportunity for Dean to establish himself and capitalize on the momentum he has built.

With White ruled out, the Eagles now have three backups to fill the void behind Dean and Baun. Oren Burks, Jeremiah Trotter Jr., and Ben VanSumeren will have an opportunity to prove themselves both on defense and special teams after showing promising potential during training camp.

In other injury news, Isaiah Rodgers continues to be listed as limited due to a hand injury. The current expectation is for him to play on the outside, while Quinyon Mitchell takes on the nickel cornerback role. However, if Rodgers is unable to play, Kelee Ringo will step in to fill his shoes.

On a positive note, A.J. Brown and Landon Dickerson, who were listed as limited on Tuesday with "rest" designations, have been cleared for full participation. This news should bring relief to Eagles fans as they can count on their contributions in Friday's game.

As the Eagles prepare to face the Packers without the services of Devin White, the defense will need to rally together and ensure a strong performance. The linebacking corps, led by Nakobe Dean, will have an opportunity to prove their worth and solidify their roles within the team's defensive scheme.
