Eagles Injury Report: DeVonta Smith upgraded, Dontayvion Wicks downgraded

The Philadelphia Eagles released their latest injury updates ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Carolina Panthers, with a mix of setbacks and potential positives for the offense. Quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss the game due to a superficial blood clot, forcing backup Tanner McKee into his third career start.

Running back Saquon Barkley remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Dontayvion Wicks was downgraded to *Did Not Participate* after previously being limited in practice, raising doubts about his availability. The Eagles’ depth chart is further strained with multiple running backs and defensive players on the injured list, including Jalyx Hunt and Michael Carter II, who are also expected to sit out the game.

On a brighter note, wide receiver DeVonta Smith returned to limited practice for the first time since missing the past two games, with reports suggesting he could suit up against the Panthers. The team’s defensive line and secondary also face challenges, as key contributors like Jonathan Greenard and Arnold Ebiketie remain the primary edge-rushers, while Marcus Epps may step in at safety if needed.
