The Philadelphia Eagles issued their first official injury report in advance of their Week 17 road game against the Buffalo Bills.
The Eagles listed four players under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: Lane Johnson, A.J. Brown, Nakobe Dean, and Landon Dickerson.
For the second week in a row, there was a report about Johnson returning to practice but it’s yet to happen. Unless Lane Johnson returns to practice on Thursday, he’s probably out again this week.
Brown is listed with “teeth” as his injury designation. More context below. Guessing he should be able to play.
Vic Fangio suggested that Dean is unlikely to play on Sunday. Don’t want to rush him back from his hamstring injury, especially with Jihaad Campbell as a more than capable starting linebacker option.
Dickerson missed Wednesday’s practice due to illness. He’s been missing some practice sessions in recent weeks due to rest reasons.
The Eagles listed seven players under FULL PARTICIPATION: Jalen Carter, DeVonta Smith, Zack Baun, Jihaad Campbell, Fred Johnson, Cameron Latu, and Cameron Williams.
Carter told reporters he plans on returning to action on Sunday. It remains to be seen just how much the time off helped him.
DeVonta, Baun, Campbell, and Fred Johnson were never in doubt.
Latu missed Week 16 due to a stinger. Seems like he might be able to return in Week 17.
Williams is still in his 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve but the Eagles don’t seem to be in a rush to replace him.

BUFFALO BILLS INJURY REPORT (WEDNESDAY)
Note that this report is an estimation because the Bills held a walkthrough in lieu of a normal practice.
The Bills listed seven players under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: starting edge rusher Joey Bosa, starting defensive tackle DaQuan Jones, starting safety Jordan Poyer, starting tight end Dawson Knox, rotational tight end Dalton Kincaid, kicker Matt Prater, and depth defensive tackle (and dirty player) Jordan Phillips.
Bosa, who leads the Bills in TFLs and ranks second in sacks, previously missed time due to his hamstring injury but he was removed from the injury report in Week 16. It remains to be seen if this is a new hamstring injury or if it’s related to his previous one. Something to monitor.
Jones has previously been getting rest in practice so perhaps the Bills are taking it easy with him.
Poyer picked up a hammy injury during the Bills’ Week 16 win. We’ll see if the former Eagles UDFA signing is able to play.
Knox is a new addition to the Bills’ injury report. If neither him nor Kincaid can play, the Bills will be without two of their top three tight ends.
Bills kicker Matt Prater is still hurt so Michael Badgley might have to kick in place of him again.
The Bills listed four players under LIMITED PARTICIPATION: starting quarterback Josh Allen, linebacker Shaq Thompson, starting nickel cornerback Taron Johnson, and backup nickel cornerback Cam Lewis.
All indications point to Allen playing but he might be less than 100%. We’ll see if his mobility is impacted at all.
