Eagles' Destiny Vaeao: Listed as questionable
Vaeao (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Vaeao only did individual work on Friday, so it's likely he'd still be rather limited if he were able to suit up. He hasn't played in any of the last three weeks and probably shouldn't be counted on to make much of an impact in this one either. However, he at least appears to be inching closer to a return.
