The Eagles released another injury report on New Years Day, ahead of their Week 18 game against the Commanders, and Jalen Carter was a notable addition to the list. Additionally, after practice on Thursday, veteran safety Marcus Epps reported concussion-like symptoms to the team, and after being evaluated, was added to the concussion protocol.<\/p>\n

As the team prepares for their regular season finale, we already know that they are planning set to rest a number of key starters<\/a> this weekend.<\/p>\n

The Eagles listed five players under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: Jalen Carter, Lane Johnson, Jaelan Phillips, Dallas Goedert, and Nakobe Dean.<\/p>\n

Carter was a new addition to the injury report on Thursday, and despite having recent issues with his shoulders, this was related to a hip injury. He likely wasn\u2019t going to play on Sunday anyway, but this may tip things further into him resting.<\/p>\n

Johnson hasn\u2019t played since Week 11, and even though he\u2019s been eager to get back out on the field, the team seems to be saving him for the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Phillips is dealing with an ankle injury suffered against the Bills. The edge rusher didn\u2019t get a bye week thanks to the timing of his trade from Miami to Philadelphia, so getting him some rest heading into the postseason will be helpful.<\/p>\n

Goedert is listed with a knee injury, and is another starter unlikely to play on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Dean has been dealing with a hamstring injury since Week 16, and with Jihaad Campbell playing so well, there\u2019s no need to rush Dean back on the field.<\/p>\n

The Eagles listed one player under FULL PARTICIPATION: Jihaad Campebell.<\/p>\n

Campbell was a limited participant in Wednesday\u2019s walk-through, but was upgraded on Thursday as he works through a back\/shoulder issue. The rookie played a lot snaps in Week 17, and could at least see some playing time in preparation for the playoff run.<\/p>\n

Cameron Williams was removed from the injury report because he was activated from injured reserve to the roster.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON COMMANDERS INJURY REPORT (THURSDAY)<\/p>\n

Marcus Mariota didn\u2019t practice for the second day in a row, paving the way for Josh Johnson to start at quarterback for Washington.<\/p>\n

The other notable development on the Commanders\u2019 report is that Brandon Coleman was added to the injury report with a knee injury. With Laremy Tunil on track to be out, Coleman was set to start at left tackle. We\u2019ll see if Coleman is still able to play or if Washington will be down to their third option at LT.<\/p>\n

Speaking of offensive line injuries, the Commanders also put starting center Tyler Biadasz on injured reserve earlier this week.<\/p>\n
