Eagles issue estimated injury report ahead of Lions game

The Philadelphia Eagles issued their first official injury report in advance of their Week 11 home game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football.

The Eagles listed four players under LIMITED PARTICIPATION: Lane Johnson, Cam Jurgens, Landon Dickerson, and Tyler Steen.

On one hand, not ideal to see that four of the five offensive line starters are banged up. On the other hand, there are some encouraging signs here.

Johnson being listed as limited instead of “did not participate” seems to suggest he’ll be able to play against the Lions. He was a warrior for being able to play late in the Eagles’ Week 10 win.

Jurgens hasn’t practiced since suffering a knee injury in Week 7. Seems like he might be able to return to the field this week. If not, it’ll be one more Brett Toth start before Jurgens likely plays in Week 12.

Dickerson has been banged up this season. He’s now listed with a quad injury but he should be able to play.

Steen is a new addition to the report with an oblique injury.

The Eagles listed five players under FULL PARTICIPATION: Nolan Smith, Jakorian Bennett, Darius Cooper, Willie Lampkin, and Cal Adomitis.

Smith returned from injured reserve last week. His snap count in the Green Bay Packers seemed to be limited. Still ramping up to his normal workload.

Bennett was officially activated from injured reserve earlier on Wednesday. The guess here is that Adoree’ Jackson — who is notably not listed on this injury report despite getting banged up late in the Packers game — will start at cornerback but Bennett might be the top CB2 backup ahead of Kelee Ringo. That’s how it was before Bennett got hurt in Week 3.

Cooper injured his shoulder against the Packers but he returned to the game. He’ll be ready to play against the Lions.

Lampkin is still in his 21-day practice window to return from IR. His path to playing time isn’t helped by Jurgens’ potential return.

Adomitis is a new addition to the report; he’s dealing with a finger injury. The Eagles have yet to open Charley Hughlett’s 21-day practice window but the veteran long snapper could eventually replace Adomitis.

DETROIT LIONS INJURY REPORT (WEDNESDAY)

The Lions were missing seven players on Wednesday: star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson, starting right tackle Penei Sewell, starting tight end Sam LaPorta, starting cornerback Terrion Arnold, starting safety Kerby Joseph, second tight end Brock Wright, and depth running back Sione Vaki.

Hutchinson told our associates at Pride Of Detroit that he’s going to play. Only nine NFL players have logged more sacks than Hutchinson this season … and four of them have played one more game than he has. He’ll be a challenge for the Eagles to deal with.

Sewell missed snaps in the Lions’ Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders. He might be able to play but he seems to be less than 100%.

LaPorta’s status over the next two days is worth monitoring. He’s a weapon at tight end.

Arnold is still in the concussion protocol. The Lions might be better off without their 2024 first-round pick, who has struggled this season.

Joseph seems to be in jeopardy of missing his fourth straight game.

Wright is primarily a blocking tight end for the Lions. If neither him nor LaPorta can play, the Lions will be without their top two tight ends.

The Lions also had eight players listed as limited. We’ll keep an eye on them over the next two days.

Lions starting linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez is expected to make his 2025 debut now that’s recovered from a knee injury that ended his 2024 season.
