McLeod was a full-go at Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old suffered a neck injury in Week 9 against the Chargers but it appears to have been a minor issue. Since returning from a knee injury Oct. 1, McLeod has racked up 32 tackles and a pass deflection in six games.

McLeod didn't participate at Wednesday's practice due to a neck injury, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod apparently picked up the injury during Sunday's loss to the Chargers, played 93 percent of the defensive snaps and totaled eight tackles. The 31-year-old may need to practice fully by Friday to avoid an injury designation for this weekend.

McLeod (knee) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, according to coach Nick Sirianni, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod missed the first three games of the season while recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last season, but he'll finally make his season debut in Week 4. Per Sirianni, the 31-year-old safety will have a role in the game plan against the high-powered Chiefs passing attack, though it would be understandable if the team puts a cap on McLeod's reps coming off an extended absence.

McLeod (knee) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod has yet to make his season debut yet as he's continuing to heal from the torn ACL he injured last season. Although the safety logged full participation in what was a walkthrough practice Wednesday, McLeod may still need more time to recover. If McLeod can't play against the Chiefs on Sunday, expect K'Von Wallace to continue to start at strong safety.

McLeod (knee) is officially out for Sunday's contest against the 49ers, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod was activated off the PUP list before the 53-man roster deadline, but he wasn't available for Week 1. The Eagles appear content on easing their starting safety back into game action after he suffered a torn ACL last season. K'Von Wallace played 63 snaps in McLeod's absence in the season opener and will likely see a similar workload in Week 2.

McLeod (knee) logged a limited practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod spent much of training camp on the PUP list with the knee injury. Though he logged a limited practice prior to the team's Week 1 contest, he was unable to get in enough work to be game ready. It remains to be seen if he can ramp up his practice participation as the week goes on to be prepared for a Week 2 matchup against the 49ers.

McLeod (knee) is officially listed as out for Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod was activated off of the PUP list before the 53-man roster deadline, which gave Philly optimism that he would be available for Week 1. However, the Eagles will elect to be cautious and won't rush their starting safety back from his torn ACL. K'Von Wallace and Marcus Epps are the most likely candidates to fill in for McLeod.

McLeod (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Eagles' injury report Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod's status for Week 1 still seems to be up in the air. The veteran is trying to return in time for the Week 1 opener against Atlanta but it's possible McLeod will need to wait until Week 2 to make his 2021 debut. If McLeod is unable to play, expect K'Von Wallace to see plenty of snaps Sunday.

McLeod (knee) was activated from the active/PUP list Monday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 10-year veteran played in 13 games for the Eagles last season, totaling 66 tackles and one interception before tearing his ACL against the Saints, ending his 2020 season. McLeod is a solid piece of the Eagles secondary and appears to be on track to be the starter in Week 1.
