CHICAGO -- Edge Jonathan Greenard is set to make his Philadelphia Eagles debut Monday night, a league source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Greenard has been sidelined with a pec injury he sustained while lifting weights over the summer. He was listed as questionable on the injury report this week.
While the Eagles will gladly welcome Greenard into the mix, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said last Tuesday that he is "nowhere near ready" for a full workload.
"He's not only coming off inactivity, he's coming off an injury," Fangio said. "His injury for a good bit -- the first, I don't know, four to six, seven weeks -- he really couldn't do a whole lot conditioning wise either."
Greenard was sidelined for all of training camp and for the first two regular season games. The Eagles defense has produced 45% pressure rate through two games this season, the second-best rate entering Week 3 after the Vikings (48%) but have netted just three sacks, tied for the fifth-fewest in the NFL.
Philadelphia acquired Greenard, 29, in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings during draft weekend in April and agreed to a lucrative new deal with the star linebacker.
The Eagles sent two third-round draft picks -- the No. 98 pick in this year's draft and a third-rounder next year -- to the Vikings for Greenard, who then agreed to a four-year, $100 million extension that also includes $50 million in guaranteed money.
Greenard is expected to assume a starting role for the Super Bowl-hopeful Eagles when healthy, leading a group that also includes Jalyx Hunt, Nolan Smith, AJ Epenesa and Arnold Ebiketie.
Greenard had three sacks in 12 games last season after double-digit sack campaigns the previous two years in Minnesota.
He spent the first four years of his career with the Houston Texans before signing a four-year, $72 million deal with the Vikings in 2024. He recorded 12.5 sacks and was named to the Pro Bowl in his first season with the Vikings but was slowed because of a shoulder injury that ultimately required season-ending surgery in 2025.
