All eyes are on Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown and running back Saquon Barkley in Week 10, as both players have been dealing with an injury.

Brown was ruled out in Week 8 before the Eagles' bye due to a hamstring injury, which was unexpected to say the least. Barkley suited up in that game, but he also suffered a groin injury that forced his early exit.

As the Eagles begin preparation for Week 10 on Thursday, we'll be keeping an eye on their practice participations to see if both players are on track to suit up on Monday night against the Green Bay Packers.

Follow along with our trackers below for all of the latest updates.

Is A.J. Brown practicing Thursday?

UPDATE: Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Brown was spotted at practice on Thursday, which is great news for his chances of playing.

We'll know more about his exact level of participation when the Eagles drop their first injury report of the week at some point after 4 p.m. ET.

END OF UPDATE

When asked about Brown's status on Thursday before the team took the field for its first session of the week, head coach Nick Sirianni did not offer a comment and told reporters to refer to the injury report later in the day, The Athletic's Zach Berman reported.

The Eagles are set for practice at 3:10 p.m. ET, so we'll know more later in the day about Brown.

While Sirianni's lack of an answer might seem troubling on the surface, Berman adds that it's perfectly normal for Sirianni not to comment on a player's status.

"For context: Nick Sirianni declines to give an update on anybody's status, whether they'll play or won't play. It's his MO with injuries. So this shouldn't be interpreted as anything other than Sirianni offering a non-answer — not suggestive of the status of either player," Berman explained.

Is Saquon Barkley practicing Thursday?

UPDATE: Like Brown, Barkley is also taking part in practice on Thursday, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

We don't know if Barkley is full or limited yet, as the Eagles haven't dropped their injury report, but this puts the star running back on track to play.

END OF UPDATE

As was the case with Brown, Sirianni declined to comment on Barkley's status for Week 10 before the team took the field, so we're still in the dark as of this writing.

We'll know more later in the day when the team drops its first injury report, which should come at some time after 4 p.m. ET.
