Thursday's Injury Report

Two of the Eagles' All-Pro linemen did not participate in Thursday's practice ahead of the Monday night showdown with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Defensive tackle Jalen Carter was sidelined with injuries to both shoulders. Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio noted that Carter was dealing with the injury during his Wednesday press conference.

"He does have a shoulder issue. He has been playing with it. Late in the game (against the Bears), he had a great play with it, but it's definitely something there," Fangio said.

Fangio added that rookie defensive tackle Ty Robinson may factor more into the line rotation due to Carter's injury. The third-round pick has been on the field for 35 defensive snaps this year.

Offensive tackle Lane Johnson was the only other Eagle to miss practice on Thursday. He has missed the past two games with a foot injury. Fred Johnson started in Johnson's absence.

Safety Marcus Epps returned to practice for the first time since being placed on Injured Reserve with a shoulder ailment on November 1. The seventh-year veteran played in eight games this season, but was previously a starter for the Eagles in his first tenure with the team. From 2020-23, Epps started in 28 games, including playoffs. Epps would need to be activated off Injured Reserve by Monday at 4 PM in order to be eligible to play against the Chargers. The Eagles elevated Andre' Sam from the practice squad last week with safety Andrew Mukuba going on Injured Reserve.

Wide receiver/punt returner Xavier Gipson returned to practice in a limited capacity for the first time since suffering a shoulder injury against the Cowboys on November 23.
