Official Eagles-Jets injury report

The Philadelphia Eagles have announced their last injury report prior to a Week 3 game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.

Starting running back DeMarco Murray is listed as questionable after tweaking his hamstring in Wednesday's practice. He didn't practice on Thursday, but he was limited on Friday. Multiple reports indicate that he will play on Sunday.

Wide receiver Josh Huff (hamstring) is also questionable for tomorrow's game. 

The Eagles will be without two starting inside linebackers and two defensive ends on Sunday.

Kiko Alonso (knee) won't play on Sunday after suffering a sprain in his left knee during Week 2. It is yet to be determined as to how much time Alonso is going to miss. He tore his ACL in the same knee last year while playing with the Buffalo Bills.

Mychal Kendricks (hamstring) also won't play on Sunday after pulling his hamstring in Week 2.

DeMeco Ryans and rookie Jordan Hicks will start on the inside. Brad Jones and Najee Goode will likely fill in during certain situations.

Expect 2014 first round pick Marcus Smith to make his 2015 NFL regular season debut on Sunday. He is projected to be the third outside linebacker behind Connor Barwin and Brandon Graham.

Starting defensive end Cedric Thornton (hand) and his backup Taylor Hart (shoulder) won't be active on Sunday. Vinny Curry is expected to move back to primarily playing defensive end with Smith returning to the lineup at outside linebacker. Also, Brandon Bair will be active for the first game this season. He was active for all 16 games in 2014.

Wide receiver/special teams player Seyi Ajirotutu (elbow/concussion) is ready to make a return after missing last week.

For the Jets, head coach Todd Bowles confirmed that starting cornerback Darrelle Revis (groin), running back Chris Ivory (quadriceps) and wide receiver Eric Decker (knee) will all be game-time decisions.

Wide receiver Chris Owusu (knee), outside linebacker Trevor Reilly (finger) and cornerback Darrin Walls (hamstring)  won't be available for the Jets in this game. 

Wide receiver Devin Smith is probable to make his NFL debut on Sunday. The former Ohio State wide receiver was sidelined during the beginning of the season with broken ribs. The Jets selected Smith in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

Offensive guard Willie Colon (knee) was limited during practice on Thursday and Friday. He is officially listed as questionable.  

Quarterback Geno Smith (jaw) is listed as probable. He was expected to be the team's starter going into this year, but Ryan Fitzpatrick has played well enough in Chan Gailey's offense to be able to keep the starting job.

The Eagles are looking to avoid an 0-3 start to the 2015 regular season and the Jets are looking to beat the Eagles in the regular season for the first time in franchise history.
