Ready to go for Week 9
Ezeudu (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup with the Commanders, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. Ezeudu had his knee drained earlier in the week and was originally considered unlikely to play in Week 9, but he now appears to be ready to go. He'll operate as the top reserve option behind Chris Hubbard at left tackle against Washington.
Won't practice Wednesday
Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters that Ezeudu had his knee drained and won't practice Wednesday, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports. Schwartz also noted that Daboll didn't sound optimistic regarding Ezeudu's availability in Week 9's matchup against the Commanders. Regardless, the third-year tackle from North Carolina will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up Sunday.
Practicing at left tackle
Ezeudu took practice reps at left tackle during OTAs on Monday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. Ezeudu struggled at left tackle last season when he filled in for an injured Andrew Thomas, but coach Brian Daboll wants to keep a contingency plan in place in case the latter gets hurt again. If not though, Ezeudu still probably projects to start at guard, if at all, this year.
