Jordan Hicks said he “absolutely” will be ready for the Eagles’ Sept. 10 season opener at Washington.
“This thing is minor. You know I’m good,” Hicks said after observing the joint practice Tuesday between the Eagles and the Dolphins. Hicks left Monday’s joint practice with what a source close to the situation has described as a minor groin strain.
So, for the second time this summer, people who understood what makes the Eagles’ defense tick were allowed to exhale. The first such occasion came at the end of June, when word surfaced that the Eagles’ middle linebacker had suffered a broken hand, slipping on a swimming pool deck in Greece on his honeymoon.
