Eagles Kicker Dealing With Ankle Injury; Questionable for Week 5
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott was missing from practice on Wednesday.
Elliott suffered a right ankle injury in the Eagles' Week 4 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He played through the injury, however, but did miss a field goal.
Elliott did say he's feeling ''good'' and hopes to play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

Eagles special teams coordinator Michael Clay was noncommittal on Elliott's Week 5 status. However, an ankle injury for a kicker, on his kicking leg does not bode well for his availability this week.
The twenty-seven-year-old is 4-5 in field goal attempts this season, and 13-14 in extra-point attempts.
The Eagles signed former Texas kicker Cameron Dicker to their practice squad yesterday. He'll take over kicking duties if Elliott does miss the game.
