The 28-year-old middle linebacker suffered a hamstring injury during Philadelphia's Week 12 win over the Bills, and he was unable to practice all week, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive Sunday. With Cunningham missing Week 13, expect Christian Elliss to see an uptick in snaps in the Eagles' linebacker corps.

The 28-year-old middle linebacker suffered a hamstring injury during Philadelphia's Week 12 win over the Bills, and he was unable to practice all week, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive Sunday. With Cunningham missing Week 13, expect Christian Elliss to see an uptick in snaps in the Eagles' linebacker corps.
Cunningham suffered a hamstring injury in the Eagles' overtime victory over the Bills in Week 12 and his status is now in question for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers. The team's session Wednesday was a walkthrough, so Thursday's official practice should shed more light on where the linebacker's health is at heading into Week 13.
Cunningham exited Sunday's win over the Bills with the injury and was unable to return. His potential absence moving forward for any length of time would certainly be a blow to the Eagles' linebacker corps, although it's still not clear how likely him missing time may be. His practice status in the days ahead should shed more light on his potential to suit up Week 13 against the 49ers.
Cunningham was initially considered questionable to return after exiting Sunday's matchup, but he'll be unavailable down the stretch. Whether he'll be available for next Sunday's game against San Francisco remains to be seen.
Cunningham was checked out in the blue tent before eventually going into the locker room. He had a team-leading 10 tackles (seven solo) before exiting Sunday's game. In Cunningham's absence, Christian Elliss has filled in at linebacker alongside Nicholas Morrow and Haason Reddick.
