Three key Philadelphia Eagles players -- running back Kenneth Gainwell, cornerback James Bradberry and safety Reed Blankenship -- have been ruled out of Thursday's home opener against the Minnesota Vikings. The loss of Gainwell should lead to a bigger role for D'Andre Swift. Without Bradberry, the Eagles are expected to turn to Josh Jobe. The absence of Blankenship leaves the secondary thinned out, with Justin Evans, Terrell Edmunds, and rookie Sydney Brown potentially seeing playing time.
