Eagles Put Jonathan Greenard on PUP After Pre‑Camp Pec Strain

Missed on-field reps could slow his assimilation into the Eagles' defensive scheme before the regular season.

Overview

  • The Eagles placed veteran edge rusher Jonathan Greenard on the active/physically unable to perform list after he suffered a pectoral strain in a workout, a development reported late Wednesday.
  • General manager Howie Roseman said the injury is not expected to be long term and expressed confidence Greenard will be ready for the season.
  • Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Greenard will "miss a good bit of camp" and that it remains uncertain whether he will practice before the regular season.
  • Philadelphia acquired Greenard in April in a trade with Minnesota and gave him a multi‑year extension reported around four years and roughly $98–100 million, with some outlets differing on exact pick and dollar details.
  • Greenard missed time in 2025 after shoulder surgery and his absence from camp raises the chance that Nolan Smith Jr., Jalyx Hunt, AJ Epenesa, or other pass rushers will carry extra on-field work while Greenard catches up.
