Eagles LB Nakobe Dean left Sunday's win over the Packers with a left knee injury. NFL Network reports that it's a torn patellar tendon, which not only ends Dean's season but will challenge his readiness for 2025.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown told reporters Friday that he's ready to play Sunday against the Packers, despite the knee issue that has limited his practice time this week.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has cleared concussion protocol, HC Nick Sirianni announced on Friday. Hurts will start Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Packers and should be a full-go. Green Bay ranks fourth in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs and limited Hurts to 19.4 fantasy points back in Week 1. Hurts checks in just fourth in our Wild Card Round QB Rankings.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (concussion, finger) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. He's on track to be cleared for this weekend's Wild Card game vs. the Packers. We'll see how Hurts is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown will be held out of Thursday's practice as he deals with a knee issue. "The expectation is that A.J. Brown will play on Sunday, from what I understand," The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane writes. "The Eagles are limiting his workload so he’s as close to 100 percent as possible by Sunday." Brown has been on the injury report with a knee since Week 16, so this is seemingly something he's been dealing with. He played his usual allotment of snaps in Weeks 16 and 17 before sitting out the finale. We'll keep a close eye on Brown's status over the next few days, but we're tentatively not expecting this to impact his outlook for Sunday's game vs. the Packers.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (concussion, left finger) was limited in Wednesday's practice. It's unclear exactly where he is in the concussion protocol, but the limited practice means he's at least made some progress. We're expecting Hurts to play against the Packers on Sunday but will keep you updated on his status over the next few days.
Eagles HC Nick Sirianni told reporters Monday that QB Jalen Hurts remains in the league concussion protocol. He suffered the injury early in the team's Week 16 loss to Washington.
Eagles QB Kenny Pickett (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Giants. QB Tanner McKee is expected to get the start, though. It’s a situation to avoid in Week 18 fantasy lineups, especially with WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith out.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Giants. Philadelphia is sitting most starters, but Goedert will get some playing time after missing the past four weeks. We’re expecting him to play limited snaps and would avoid him in fantasy lineups.
Eagles RB Will Shipley (concussion) is active for today’s game vs. the Giants. RB Kenneth Gainwell is the only other active RB for Philadelphia. Expect Shipley to get the ball plenty in this one. He cracks the top 25 in our Week 18 RB Rankings.
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley, WR A.J. Brown, and WR DeVonta Smith are inactive for today’s game vs. the Giants. QB Jalen Hurts (concussion) was already ruled out of this meaningless game.
The Eagles activated TE Dallas Goedert (knee) from IR. Philadelphia will rest most starters in Sunday's meaningless finale vs. the Giants, but it looks like they'll get Goedert at least some playing time for the first time since Week 13. Goedert still isn't a viable Week 18 fantasy play.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Giants. He should be cleared in time to play in next week's Wild Card game. RB Saquon Barkley and WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are listed as doubtful. They won't play in this meaningless game. TE Dallas Goedert (knee) is not listed on the final injury report and could get a few snaps in this one to knock off some rust. We'd still avoid him in Week 18 fantasy lineups. QB Kenny Pickett (ribs) is listed as questionable but didn't practice all week. We're expecting QB Tanner McKee to get the start. RB Will Shipley (concussion) is listed as questionable but was a full-go in the final two practices of the week. He should be cleared for this one and figures to operate as Philadelphia's lead back.
The Eagles on Friday announced these defensive starters as doubtful for "coach's decision": LB Zack Baun, DT Jalen Carter, LB Nakobe Dean, and CB Darius Slay. That's an obvious signal those players won't play at all Sunday against the Giants. We likely won't know about the rest of the starters until Sunday. Avoiding Philly defenders in your Week 18 IDP lineups as much as possible seems like a good idea.
Eagles RB Will Shipley (concussion) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He's a name to monitor with RB Saquon Barkley being held out of this weekend's finale vs. the Giants. That could mean a significant role for Shipley if he clears protocol. We'll keep you posted on his progress.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) has been designated to return from IR. We doubt he plays in Sunday's meaningless regular-season finale vs. the Giants, but Goedert should be ready to go for Round 1 of the playoffs. He averaged 5.6 targets, 4.8 catches, and 55 yards in eight healthy games this season -- although a huge chunk of that production came in a 170-yard outing against the Saints in Week 3 with WR A.J. Brown out.
Eagles HC Nick Sirianni said Wednesday that he'll rest starters, including RB Saquon Barkley, in Sunday's finale vs. the Giants. The Eagles are locked in as the NFC's No. 2 seed. So Barkley won't have a chance to get the 101 rushing yards he needs to break Eric Dickerson's single-season record. But he'll be healthy heading into the playoffs. Don't expect QB Jalen Hurts or WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith to play on Sunday, either. We'll see whether Kenny Pickett (ribs) or Tanner McKee starts at QB. Backfield duties figure to be handled by Kenneth Gainwell and Will Shipley.
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley delivered 167 yards on 31 carries in Sunday's beatdown of the Cowboys, getting him to 2,005 rushing yards for the season. That puts Barkley just 101 yards short of breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season NFL record. The question now, of course, is whether Philly will Barkley enough Week 18 carries to go after that record -- or any carries at all. The Eagles have already locked up the NFC's No. 2 seed and thus have nothing (team wise) to play for in the regular-season finale.
Eagles QB Kenny Pickett was knocked out of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys with a rib injury. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio reports that Pickett was playing through broken ribs that he suffered in Week 16. He took painkilling shots both before the start of the game and at halftime. The Eagles are now locked into the NFC’s No. 2 seed, so there’s a good chance that it’s QB Tanner McKee under center in next weekend’s regular-season finale vs. the Giants.
Eagles QB Kenny Pickett is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys with a rib injury. He was on this week's injury report with ribs. QB Tanner McKee has replaced Pickett. We'll update his status when we know more.
