What's Happening?
The Philadelphia Eagles have released their final injury report ahead of their Week 10 game against the Green Bay Packers. Cam Jurgens has been ruled out due to a knee injury sustained in Week 7, although
he is expected to return by Week 12. Brett Toth is likely to start at center in Jurgens' absence. Three players, Nolan Smith, Jakorian Bennett, and Willie Lampkin, are listed as questionable but participated fully in practice throughout the week. A.J. Brown and Saquon Barkley are cleared to play despite being on the injury report earlier. The Packers have ruled out Nate Hobbs and Lukas Van Ness, while four players are questionable, including Zach Tom and Matthew Golden.
Why It's Important?
The injury report is crucial for both teams as they prepare for a significant matchup. The absence of Cam Jurgens could impact the Eagles' offensive line, although Brett Toth's previous performance provides some reassurance. The potential return of Nolan Smith could bolster the Eagles' defense, which has been missing his presence since Week 3. For the Packers, the absence of key players like Nate Hobbs and Lukas Van Ness could weaken their defensive capabilities, giving the Eagles an advantage. The game could have implications for playoff positioning as both teams are vying for strong finishes in their respective divisions.
What's Next?
The Eagles will need to finalize their roster decisions by 4:00 PM Eastern on Monday, determining whether to activate the questionable players for the game. The Packers will also make final decisions on their lineup, particularly concerning their wide receiver injuries. Both teams will be closely monitoring player health and readiness as they approach the game, which could influence their strategies and play-calling.
