The Philadelphia Eagles issued their third and final official injury report ahead of their Week 10 road game against the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football.
The Eagles ruled out one player: Cam Jurgens.
Jurgens has not practiced since suffering a knee injury in Week 7. The fact that the Eagles have not yet placed him on injured reserve indicates that they believe he will return no later than Week 12. Tim McManus of ESPN noted that he saw Jurgens walking normally on Saturday.
With Jurgens out, the Eagles will likely play Brett Toth at center. Toth played well in his Week 8 start against the New York Giants.
The Eagles declared three players QUESTIONABLE: Nolan Smith, Jakorian Bennett and Willie Lampkin.
All three players participated fully in training throughout the week. The Eagles have until 4:00 pm ET on Monday to activate them on the roster to play in Green Bay.
Smith told reporters that he is ready to play against the Packers. The Eagles have been without their starting running back since he went on the injured list with a triceps injury after the team’s Week 3 win. Smith will be part of a five-man rotation that also includes Jaelan Phillips, Jalyx Hunt, Brandon Graham and Joshua Uche.
Bennett could possibly start at CB2 if the Eagles decided to activate him. But he could be a depth option until an opportunity to play arises. We’ll see.
Lampkin could be activated to help provide more depth on the interior offensive line since Jurgens is out. Maybe even some action at full-back? I’ll believe it when I see it.
AJ Brown, Saquon Barkley, Adoree’ Jackson, Moro Ojomo and Kylen Granson are listed as out of playing status.
This means they are ready to play despite appearing on this week’s injury report.
It is important to see that Brown and Barkley are ready.
Jackson returned to full strength on Saturday after being limited on Thursday and then missing practice on Friday due to a “personal matter.” Could Jackson be a starter at CB2? Or will the Eagles go with Kelee Ringo? Or Bennett? He’s probably not Jaire Alexander’s new addition, right?
Ojomo was limited on Thursday before being upgraded to the maximum on Friday and Saturday.
Granson was added to the report Saturday with an abdominal injury, but he practiced fully and will be ready to play.

GREEN BAY PACKERS INJURY REPORT (SATURDAY)
The Packers ruled out two players: starting cornerback Nate Hobbs and rotational edge defender Lukas Van Ness.
Neither player practiced this week.
The Packers declared four players QUESTIONABLE: starting right tackle Zach Tom, rookie starting wide receiver Matthew Golden and rotational wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks and Savion Williams.
Tom was limited in practice all week. I guess he will play. If not, it will be a significant loss for the Packers.
Green Bay is dealing with multiple injuries to its wide receivers. It seems unlikely that Golden will play since he was limited on Thursday and then had to sit out Friday and Saturday. Wicks and Williams were limited the last two days. Jayden Reed remains on injured reserve. Christian Watson has been counting pitches since recently returning to the field.
