The Philadelphia Eagles issued their third and final official injury report in advance of their Week 5 home game against the Denver Broncos.
The Eagles ruled one player OUT: Nakobe Dean.
On Friday morning, Dean posted an Instagram story where he announced he would not be activated this week. Dean’s 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve was activated on Wednesday. He was limited in the Eagles’ first two practices this week before being upgraded to full participation on Friday. It’s possible
Dean will be activated prior to Week 6 … but the problem with that is the Eagles play on Thursday night football next week. Week 7 might be the more realistic target for Dean’s return to the field.
No other Eagles players were listed with a game status.
The active roster is healthy. Good news.
Jalen Carter, Dallas Goedert, Lane Johnson, Grant Calcaterra, Adoree’ Jackson, and Jihaad Campbell will all play despite missing some time in practice this week. All of these players were full participants on Friday, except for Campbell … who missed practice due to personal reasons.
It’ll be interesting to see if Jackson starts at CB2 or if the Eagles will stick with Kelee Ringo there.

TCF reverted to IR after being waived/injured; the Eagles could eventually cut him with an injury settlement … like they did with Lewis Cine. Hinton and Lampkin are currently eligible to return from IR. Williams is eligible to return from IR after Week 5. Nolan Smith, Bennett, and Cooper are eligible to return from IR after Week 7 but we’ll see if the Eagles wait until after the Week 9 bye to activate them. Hughlett is eligible to return from IR after Week 8 but he might need longer to heal up. BVS, Wilson, and Okoronkwo are out for the season.
DENVER BRONCOS INJURY REPORT (FRIDAY)
The Broncos ruled one player out: depth tight end Lucas Krull. Their roster is otherwise healthy.
