A VIRUS is ripping through the Philadelphia Eagles’ locker room – just days before Super Bowl LIX.
The Eagles are preparing to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in this Sunday’s showpiece in New Orleans.

It was the second day in a row the star defensive tackle had missed drills.
Carter was not at the Eagles’ media sessions, with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio admitting the bug was “going around some of the team,” per NBC Philadelphia.
Fangio did not expand on who else may be suffering from the mystery illness.
But relieved Eagles fans were delighted to see Carter missing from the injury report on Thursday.
He returned to practice as a full participant, with no other player listed with illness by the organization.
Despite Carter’s return, fans were desperate to shield the team ahead of Sunday’s huge showdown.
“Just tell me everyone is healthy,” wrote one Philly fan on X.
“They better hook Jalen up to the strongest IV’s known to man,” joked another.
“I don’t ask for much. Just give my mans[sic] some good health,” begged a third.
The Eagles have three further injury doubts heading into the weekend’s showdown in Louisiana.
Defensive end Brandon Graham is battling an elbow injury.
While star wide receiver DeVonta Smith remained a limited participant on Thursday due to a hamstring issue.
Backup center Nick Gates has a new groin problem – but still managed to practice in a limited fashion.
The Eagles are looking to win just a second franchise Super Bowl when they take on the Chiefs.
