UPDATE: The Eagles placed Jerome Couplin (shoulder) on the season-ending Injured Reserve list and signed Ed Reynolds from the practice squad.
Here is the injury report for Sunday’s home game against the Bucs:
EAGLES
OUT
QB Sam Bradford (concussion, left shoulder), S Jerome Couplin (shoulder), RB Ryan Mathews (concussion, groin)
QUESTIONABLE
T Jason Peters (back)
PROBABLE
G Josh Andrews (concussion), LB Connor Barwin (quadricep), WR Josh Huff (back), LB DeMeco Ryans (hamstring), S Walter Thurmond (hamstring)
As expected, Mark Sanchez will get his first start of the year. Mathews will miss his first game after suffering a concussion against Miami.
The Peters situation continues to confound. He was listed as a non-participant in Friday’s practice — essentially a walkthrough — after surprising the team by practicing Thursday.
Huff said his back locked up on him earlier in the week, but he’s expecting to play. Barwin also said he’d be a go.
Andrews apparently cleared concussion protocol as he practiced Friday and is now considered probable.
BUCS
OUT
DE George Johnson (calf)
DOUBTFUL
DE Josh Shirley (calf)
QUESTIONABLE
WR Vincent Jackson (knee), G Ali Marpet (ankle), TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins (shoulder), C/G Evan Smith (knee), DE Jacquies Smith (ankle)
PROBABLE
S Major Wright (hamstring)
