Kyle Van Noy was sidelined again before the Ravens took on the Eagles

Kyle Van Noy was sidelined again before the Ravens took on the Eagles

The Eagles’ starting cornerback is out; DeVonta Smith is questionable

The Eagles have more injury concerns than Baltimore, with six-time Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay out (concussion) and starting wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) questionable.

Slay didn’t practice all week after suffering a concussion last Sunday night in Los Angeles. If he is sidelined, the Eagles could move talented rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean out or use more of rookie cornerbacks Kelee Ringo or Isaiah Rodgers.

Smith returned to practice Thursday and was limited then and Friday. He leads the Eagles in receptions (41) and is second in receiving yards (516).

Asked if he planned to play on Sunday, Smith told reporters: “I don’t know yet. It’s still not my decision.”

Even if it were up to him, Smith said he still wasn’t sure if he would be able to play after already missing a game. He has been on the injury report since Week 10 due to his hamstring problem.

The Eagles added three players to Friday’s injury report: linebacker Ben VanSumeren (knee/out), wide receiver Johnny Wilson (hamstring/questionable) and safety Sydney Brown (knee/questionable).
