What happened: Mike Garafolo said Baun is officially out because he needs a practice session to move through concussion protocol before he can return. Smith also remained out Friday, matching the expectation around his status for the Rams matchup.

Why it matters: Philadelphia heads toward Sunday without Baun and still waiting on Smith, leaving one starting spot closed off and another unresolved late in the week. That tightens the Eagles' options on both sides of the ball ahead of their game against Los Angeles.

What to watch: Philadelphia's game-day inactive list will show whether Smith can make it back this week. The final pregame decisions will also determine how the Eagles handle Baun's absence at linebacker.
