The Philadelphia Eagles issued their third and final official injury report in advance of their Week 3 home game against the Los Angeles Rams.
The big news is that Dallas Goedert will play.
The Eagles’ top tight end was upgraded to full participation on Friday after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday. Goedert missed Week 2 due to a knee injury. Getting him back is important since his backups haven’t done much to inspire confidence.
Jalen Carter and Byron Young will also play despite being listed on the injury report this week.
Carter was limited on Wednesday before being upgraded to full participation on Thursday. He was full go again on Friday.
Young missed Thursday’s practice due to a “forehead laceration.” The rotational defensive tackle was back in full on Friday.
The Eagles ruled one player OUT: Will Shipley.
Shipley returned to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday. He was limited again on Friday. The Eagles’ No. 2 running back might be able to return to game action in Week 4. For now, A.J. Dillon figures to be the top backup behind Saquon Barkley. It remains to be seen if Tank Bigsby will see any offensive snaps this week after only playing on special teams in Week 2.
The Eagles ruled one player QUESTIONABLE: Tanner McKee.
McKee was limited in practice all week. If he’s not active as Jalen Hurts’ top backup, he figures to serve as the emergency third quarterback. In that role, he’s only permitted to play if both Hurts and Sam Howell become unavailable.

G/C Willie Lampkin
FB Ben VanSumeren
OT Cameron Williams
WR Johnny Wilson
TCF reverted to IR after being waived/injured; the Eagles could eventually cut him with an injury settlement … like they recently did with Lewis Cine. Hinton and Lampkin are eligible to return from IR after Week 4. Williams is eligible to return from IR after Week 5. BVS and Wilson are out for the season.
LOS ANGELES RAMS INJURY REPORT (FRIDAY)
The Rams ruled one player DOUTBFUL: starting left guard Steve Avila.
Avila previously missed Week 2 and did not practice this week. He’ll be replaced by Justin Dedich, a 2024 undrafted signing who has graded out poorly as a pass blocker by Pro Football Focus. Moro Ojomo needs to take advantage of this matchup.
The Rams ruled two players QUESTIONABLE: starting defensive end Braden Fiske and No. 2 tight end Colby Parkinson.
Fiske missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before being upgraded to limited on Friday. The Rams still have a talented defensive line if Fiske can’t play but his absence would hurt LA’s defense.
Parkinson was limited in practice all week due to a shoulder injury.
The Rams placed starting cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon on injured reserve earlier this week. That’s a significant loss. In his absence, LA is expected to start former first-round pick Emmanuel Forbes. The same Emmanuel Forbes who has been tormented by A.J. Brown in the past.
