At this point, it seems like the Eagles are saving Lane Johnson until the playoffs start. Fred Johnson will continue to start at right tackle in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Dean did not practice this week after suffering a hamstring injury during the Eagles\u2019 win over the Washington Commanders. Jihaad Campbell will start in his place at linebacker next to Zack Baun. This will be Campbell\u2019s first start since Week 8 (October 26).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>The Eagles ruled one player QUESTIONABLE: Cameron Williams.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Eagles opened Williams\u2019 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve two weeks ago but the team doesn\u2019t seem to be in a rush to activate the rookie offensive tackle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>A.J.

Why not just rest him some more? Well, the Eagles are trying to win this weekend. And the team probably feels like he needs to get into game shape instead of having a long layoff before the postseason starts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Brown missed practice on Wednesday and was listed under did not participate again for Thursday\u2019s walkthrough due to a recent oral procedure.

Mukuba and Ojulari are currently eligible to return from IR. Practice windows to return from IR were previously opened for Lampkin and Hinton but the Eagles did not activate them before they closed, thus ending their seasons. BVS, Wilson, and Okoronkwo suffered season-ending injuries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BUFFALO BILLS INJURY REPORT (FRIDAY)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>Josh Allen is listed without a game status.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Bills\u2019 starting quarterback was full go on Friday after being listed as limited on Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>The Bills ruled four players OUT: starting defensive tackle DaQuan Jones, starting safety Jordan Poyer, kicker Matt Prater, and rotational defensive tackle Jordan Phillips.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Jones ranks second in defensive tackles snaps played for the Bills this season while Phillips ranks fourth. The Bills have already been bad at stopping the run when healthy and now they\u2019re banged up on the defensive interior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Poyer, who began his NFL career as an Eagles undrafted rookie free agent signing, is out after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 16. With Poyer out and Taylor Rapp on injured reserve, there isn\u2019t a clear cut starting safety option next to Cole Bishop. The Bills\u2019 depth on the back end could be tested.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Bills originally signed Prater in September after Tyler Bass suffered a season-ending injury prior to Week 1. With Prater hurt, the Bills are down to using their third kicker option: Michael Badgley. who is on the practice squad. Badgley missed an extra point in his Bills debut last weekend. Prior to that, he had missed four kicks in seven games with the Indianapolis Colts before they waived him. And so Jake Elliott might not be the only kicker to struggle in this Sunday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>The Bills ruled two players QUESTIONABLE: tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Both players were listed under DNP on Wednesday and Thursday before being limited on Friday. We\u2019ll find out if they\u2019re suiting up this weekend or not when inactives are announced at 2:55 PM Eastern on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Bills like to lean into multiple tight end sets, especially since they\u2019re so thin at wide receiver. Kincaid and Knox rank second and third on the team in receiving yards, respectively \u2026 only behind Khalil Shakir. Not an ideal development for the Bills\u2019 offense if Kincaid and\/or Knox can\u2019t play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">DT DaQuan Jones (calf)<br \/>DT Jordan Phillips (ankle)<br \/>S Jordan Poyer (hamstring)<br \/>K Matt Prater (right quad)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">TE Dalton Kincaid (knee)<br \/>TE Dawson Knox (knee)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Reminder: Slay was claimed off waivers by the Bills after the Pittsburgh Steelers cut the veteran cornerback. The Eagles also put a claim in on Slay but the Bills ranked higher in the claiming order. Slay has not reported to Buffalo to play for the Bills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">K Tyler Bass<br \/>DT DeWayne Carter<br \/>S Damar Hamlin<br \/>DE Michael Hoecht<br \/>EDGE Landon Jackson<br \/>P Cameron Johnston<br \/>OT Chase Lundt<br \/>DT Ed Oliver<br \/>DB Wande Owens<br \/>S Taylor Rapp<br \/>WR Curtis Samuel<br \/>CB Dorian Strong<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Eagles issued their third and final official injury report in advance of their Week 17 road&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":474253,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[1232,76139,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-474252","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-news","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115789635552552878","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=474252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474252\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/474253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=474252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=474252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=474252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
