Eagles-49ers Final Injury Report: Lane Johnson questionable

imagn-26690309.jpg


The Philadelphia Eagles issued their third and final official injury report in advance of their Wild Card home playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Eagles ruled three players QUESTIONABLE: Lane Johnson, Brett Toth, and Azeez Ojulari.

Johnson was limited for all three practices this week. The team probably would’ve liked to see him get at least one full session in. Lane might start at right tackle anyway but it doesn’t seem like a lock at the moment. The expectation is that’ll try to play at less than 100%. If he can’t go or has to leave the game early, it’ll be Fred Johnson in his place once again.

Toth missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before being upgraded to limited participation on Friday. There’s a chance he could clear concussion protocol in time to play on Sunday. If he’s not cleared, the Eagles will be without their top backup at the interior offensive line positions. Matt Pryor and Drew Kendall will move up the depth chart in that case.

The Eagles opened Ojulari’s 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve earlier this week but there’s no indication they’re in a rush to activate him to the roster when they already have ample edge rusher depth.

Jalen Carter, Dallas Goedert, Nakobe Dean, Marcus Epps, Jaelan Phillips, and Grant Calcaterra are listed without game statuses.

They’re all ready to play.

Carter and Goedert were notably upgraded to full go on Friday after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday.

The Eagles have until 4:00 PM Eastern on Saturday to temporarily elevate up to two players from the practice squad to play on Sunday. Long snapper Charley Hughlett will be one of those elevations.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES INJURY REPORT (FRIDAY)


QUESTIONABLE

OT Lane Johnson (foot)
EDGE Azeez Ojulari (hamstring)
OL Brett Toth (concussion)



RESERVE/RETIRED

CB Jaire Alexander
EDGE Za’Darius Smith

Smith unexpectedly retired from football on October 13. Alexander was placed on this list on November 12.

RESERVE/INJURED

OT Myles Hinton
G/C Willie Lampkin
S Andrew Mukuba
EDGE Azeez Ojulari (practice window open)
EDGE Ogbo Okoronkwo
FB Ben VanSumeren
WR Johnny Wilson

The Eagles opened Ojulari’s 21-day practice window to return from IR on January 7. Mukuba is eligible to return from IR but presumably not healthy enough to play. Practice windows to return from IR were previously opened for Lampkin and Hinton but the Eagles did not activate them before they closed, thus ending their seasons. BVS, Wilson, and Okoronkwo suffered season-ending injuries.

NFL Wild Card Weekend: Saturday playoff games

gettyimages-2252922851.jpg


Happy Postseason!

The first matchup of Wild Card Weekend will feature the Los Angeles Rams (12-5) on the road against the Carolina Panthers (8-9). The Panthers actually lead the all-time regular season series between these teams, 13-10, but the Rams have won two of their three most-recent meetings. However, they last faced off back in late-November, and Carolina was able to win at home, 31-28.

For the night game, the Green Bay Packers (9-7-1) will face a familiar division opponent in the Chicago Bears (11-6). The Packers lead the all-time regular season series between these teams, 108-96-6, but the Bears have won most recently, just a few weeks ago in late-December, 22-16 in overtime. Weather will certainly be a factor in this matchup, and should the Eagles win their Sunday afternoon game against the 49ers, they’ll play the winner of Saturday night’s game — and either host the Packers if they win, or travel to Chicago if the Bears win.
