Eagles linebacker Jonathan Greenard has not practiced yet at training camp and it will still be some time before he's ready to get on the field.
Jonathan Greenard will miss "another couple weeks at least" for Eagles
Jonathan Greenard of the Eagles will miss another couple of weeks due to an injury.
Scoring Zone's Take
Jonathan Greenard's injury timeline just extended by another couple of weeks, and with it his draft-day value takes a real hit. This is coming during the offseason, so there's no game snap count to worry about yet, but the sourcing here is consistent across two outlets on the "couple more weeks" absence, which gives you reasonable confidence this isn't a minor tweak that resolves overnight. For a pass rusher whose fantasy relevance in most formats is tied to sacks, tackles, and IDP scoring, missing extended time in camp/preseason ramp-up is a meaningful red flag heading into draft season.
For redraft purposes, treat Greenard as a discount-round or late-round dart rather than a player you pencil in for a starting IDP or DFS role early in the year. If your league has IDP scoring, his ADP should be sliding down your board — he's the kind of player you can still get value on if he falls far enough, but you shouldn't be reaching for him assuming a clean, on-time start to the season. In non-IDP leagues this is a total non-factor and can be ignored.
Actionable takeaway: downgrade Greenard on your draft rankings, especially in IDP or defensive-scoring formats, and stop treating him as a guaranteed Week 1 contributor. Don't cut bait entirely — edge rushers with pass-rush pedigree are worth a stash if he's cheap — but build in a buffer for missed reps and conditioning before locking him into your starting lineup plans. Confidence in the injury itself is solid; confidence in exactly when he returns remains lower, so keep monitoring beat-writer updates before finalizing your draft strategy.
Fantasy Implication reviewed impact -0.5
Greenard is an edge rusher and has no standalone fantasy value in standard formats, so this news is really only relevant to IDP (individual defensive player) leagues. In those formats, his continued absence from camp pushes back his timeline to be a full-participant/effective pass rusher, which could delay his ramp to snap-count and sack production even once he returns, especially if this is a soft-tissue or lower-body injury requiring conditioning. This isn't a training camp injury battle with fantasy stakes for skill positions, but it does affect Philadelphia's defensive line rotation - benefiting other Eagles pass rushers (Nolan Smith, Josh Sweat if still on roster, or depth players) who will see more camp reps and potentially a Week 1 role if Greenard isn't ready.
