The Philadelphia Eagles have no surprises on their injury report heading into their Week 3 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams suffered injuries at cornerback and along their defensive line Week 2, and they could also be without their starting LG.<\/p>\n
Here’s the Eagles-Rams injury report, with analysis.<\/p>\n

Wednesday notes:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Goedert didn’t practice at all heading into the Eagles’ matchup against the Chiefs Week 2. His limited participation on Wednesday is an encouraging sign for his availability Week 3 against the Rams.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Shipley, McKee, and Carter have all been on the injury report with their various injuries, though Carter wasn’t on it Week 2. Carter played through some pain in the Eagles’ win over the Chiefs, but never had to exit the game because of his injury.<\/p>\n
Thursday night:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2022 Young was added to the injury report with a “forehead laceration,” which is a fancy way of saying he has a cut on his head.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Shipley practiced for the first time since suffering his injury Week 1 against the Cowboys.<\/p>\n
Friday notes:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2022 Goedert will play.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2022 McKee will likely be the emergency quarterback again, with Sam Howell serving as the QB3.<\/p>\n
Notable players on IR, PUP, suspension, etc.<\/p>\n
\u2022 LB Nakobe Dean (PUP, knee): Dean tore his patellar tendon in the Eagles’ Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers last season. As our Evan Macy detailed back in January<\/a>, patellar tendon tears are more serious than ACL or Achilles tears. Dean began training camp on the PUP list and remained there to begin the regular season. He will miss the first four games, at a minimum. Rookie Jihaad Campbell is starting opposite Zack Baun, and has played well to begin the season.<\/p>\n \u2022 WR Johnny Wilson (IR, knee, ankle):\u00a0Wilson is a massive receiver at 6’6, 228 who carved out a dirty work role as a physical blocker his rookie season in 2024, though sometimes he was a little too aggressive, as he committed four penalties (3 holding, 1 OPI).\u00a0He wasn’t much of a threat as a receiver, catching only 5 passes for 38 yards and a TD. He played a little over 400 snaps, and actually started four games.<\/p>\n \u2022 FB Ben VanSumeren (IR, knee): VanSumeren was poised to take on a bigger role in the Eagles’ offense in 2025 as a full-time fullback, but he tore his patellar tendon on the opening kickoff of the season. His season is over.<\/p>\n Wednesday notes:<\/p>\n \u2022 Avila is the starting LG. He sprained his ankle Week 1 against the Texans. If he can’t play, Justin Dedich will likely start at LG, as he did Week 2, when he struggled against Jeffery Simmons.<\/p>\n \u2022 Fiske was an NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year finalist in 2024, when he had 44 tackles, 8.5 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles. He tweaked his oblique pregame before the Rams’ matchup against the Titans, and only played 13 snaps. Even if he plays on Sunday in Philly, he may not be a full go.<\/p>\n Thursday notes:\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2022 No changes.<\/p>\n Friday notes:\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0Avila will likely be out. That’s a tough loss for the Rams, if so.<\/p>\n \u2022 Oblique injuries are difficult to play through and can often be re-aggravated, so even if Fiske plays he could be on a pitch count.<\/p>\n \u2022 Parkinson, the Rams’ TE2, is also questionable. We’ll keep an eye out for him and Fiske during warmups on gameday.<\/p>\n Notable players on IR, PUP, suspension, etc.<\/p>\n \u2022 CB Ahkello Witherspoon: Witherspoon is a starting corner. He broke his clavicle Week 2 against the Titans and landed on IR. The Rams’ top three corners Week 1 were Witherspoon, Emmanuel Forbes (!), and Cobie Durant. Darious Williams did not play in the regular defense Week 1, but played Week 2 after Witherspoon went down. With Witherspoon out, the Rams’ may have the smallest set of corners in the NFL:<\/p>\n \u2022 Emmanuel Forbes (6’0, 180) If A.J. Brown can’t get going against these guys, an already alarming situation will become more worrisome.<\/p>\n Follow Jimmy & PhillyVoice on Twitter: @JimmyKempski<\/a> | thePhillyVoice<\/a><\/p>\n Like us on Facebook: PhillyVoice Sports<\/a><\/p>\n![\"051020RamsLogo2020\"\/](\"https:\/\/media.phillyvoice.com\/media\/images\/Rams_logo_2020.width-704.png\"){kind=logo}
