What happened: Philadelphia also ruled out Dallas Goedert, Hollywood Brown, Marcus Epps and Fred Johnson for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Goedert had been listed as doubtful earlier in the week, while Brown and Johnson were previously marked questionable before the final downgrade.

Why it matters: The absences leave the Eagles without multiple established pass catchers, a starting tight end and Zack Baun heading into a road matchup with the Rams. Goedert caught 60 passes for 591 yards and 11 touchdowns in 15 games in 2025, and Brown added 49 catches for 587 yards and five scores last season.

By the numbers: Goedert and Brown combined for 109 catches, 1,178 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2025. Epps made 21 tackles in 12 games last season with Philadelphia.

What to watch: Watch for Philadelphia's final game-day inactive list to see whether the Eagles make any additional depth-chart moves before kickoff Sunday. The next official practice report will show whether any of the six are in line to return after this week.
