Friday's Injury Report
Jalen Hurts said it best.
And no matter what the elements are for Sunday's Divisional Round matchup with the Los Angeles Rams, the Eagles will have everyone on the active roster available for duty.
Tight end Dallas Goedert shoved aside an illness the way he did the Packers cornerback on the way to the end zone last Sunday and returned to practice on Friday as a limited participant. He has no game status designation for Sunday, which means he's available to play.
Everyone else on the active roster was a full participant and is good to go for the game. That includes wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) and quarterback Kenny Pickett (ribs).
Defensive tackle Byron Young (hamstring) will not be activated from Injured Reserve, even though he was a full participant all week in practice.
OUT
- DT Byron Young (Hamstring)
Rams' starting left tackle downgraded on Friday
At the beginning of the week, the big injury question mark for the Rams was the status of tight end Tyler Higbee, who was hospitalized Monday night following the Rams' Wild Card win after spitting up blood. Higbee was able to travel home with the team.
After being limited on Wednesday and Thursday, Higbee was a full participant on Friday and has no game status designation, meaning that he's cleared to play against the Eagles, which was the expectation all week.
Higbee didn't play this season until the Week 16 game against the New York Jets as he recovered from a knee injury suffered in last year's postseason. He had eight catches for 88 yards and two touchdowns in three regular-season games before leading the Rams with five catches for 58 yards on Monday night against the Vikings.
While Higbee is in the clear, starting left tackle Alaric Jackson is questionable after suffering a knee injury. He also suffered a chest injury against the Vikings, but practiced fully on Thursday. However, he did not practice as a knee injury was added to the report on Friday.
Starting nose tackle Bobby Brown III did not practice all week and is questionable for Sunday.
Starting cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon returned to practice on Friday in a limited capacity and is also questionable. Witherspoon suffered a thigh injury against Minnesota.
Offensive lineman Justin Dedich was added to the injury report on Friday with an illness. He is questionable for Sunday.
Defensive end Larrell Murchison (foot) and inside linebacker Troy Reeder (hamstring) had their 21-day practice windows opened this week to return from Injured Reserve. They were both full participants on Thursday and Friday, but will not be activated for Sunday's game.

Thursday's Injury Report
Hopefully, it wasn't a result of the interaction with the Angry Runs sceptor.
Tight end Dallas Goedert was added to the injury report with an illness and did not participate in Thursday's practice.
The good news is that he's the only Eagle on the active roster who did not practice.
Wide receiver A.J. Brown told reporters on Wednesday that he would be on the practice field and he was in a limited capacity as he continues to manage a knee injury.
Everyone else fully participated in practice, including quarterback Kenny Pickett (ribs) and defensive tackle Byron Young (hamstring). Young is in the 21-day practice window to return from Injured Reserve.

Rams should be at full strength for Sunday
Despite not practicing on Thursday, starting nose tackle Bobby Brown III and starting cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon are expected to play in the NFC Divisional Round matchup against the Eagles, according to comments made by Head Coach Sean McVay to the Rams' official website.
The Rams opened the 21-day practice window for two players to return from Injured Reserve on Thursday – defensive end Larrell Murchison (foot) and linebacker Troy Reeder (hamstring) – and both were full participants.
The only other change from Wednesday's injury report, which was an estimation as the team did not practice, was that starting left tackle Alaric Jackson (chest) was a full participant on Thursday. He would not have practiced on Wednesday.
Tight end Tyler Higbee, who was hospitalized after spitting up blood due to a chest injury following the Wild Card win on Monday night, was limited again in practice. According to McVay, Higbee is expected to play.

Wednesday's Injury Report
Obviously, the major injury to come out of Sunday's Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers was the loss of starting linebacker Nakobe Dean for the rest of the season due to a knee injury. On Tuesday, the Eagles placed Dean on Injured Reserve.
Fortunately, the rest of the active roster is healthy and in good shape for Sunday's Divisional Round showdown with the Los Angeles Rams. The Eagles rested several veterans on Wednesday.
Wide receiver A.J. Brown was among those veterans, but he was also listed om the report with a knee injury that he's had for several weeks.
"I miss practice (when he's not able to go) because I'm a work junkie," Brown said on Wednesday after the team practiced at Lincoln Financial Field. "That's the way I try to get better at it."
He added, "I'll be out there" on the practice field Thursday.
Quarterback Kenny Pickett was a full participant as he continues to recover from injured ribs originally suffered in the Week 16 game in Washington. Defensive tackle Byron Young is in the 21-day practice window to come off Injured Reserve. Young has yet to play in a game this season. He suffered a hamstring injury during practice back in October.
DID NOT PARTICIPATE
- RB Saquon Barkley (Rest)
- WR A.J. Brown (Knee/Rest)
- C Cam Jurgens (Rest)
- T Jordan Mailata (Rest)
- OLB Josh Sweat (Rest)
FULL PARTICIPATION
- QB Kenny Pickett (Ribs)
- DT Byron Young (Hamstring)
Rams TE Tyler Higbee limited after being hospitalized postgame
Rams Head Coach Sean McVay said that he fully expects tight end Tyler Higbee to play Sunday in Philadelphia. Higbee suffered a chest injury during the Monday night Wild Card win over the Minnesota Vikings. He was hospitalized after spitting up blood, per McVay, but was able to travel home with the team.
The Rams are expecting to practice this week in Los Angeles after wildfires forced the game to be moved to the Cardinals' home stadium in Arizona.
Three Rams starters did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon injured his thigh during the third quarter and had to be replaced in the lineup by Cobie Durant.
Nose tackle Bobby Brown III missed practice with a shoulder injury. He was not on the injury report during the previous week. Brown played 13 snaps on defense and another three on special teams Monday night.
Left tackle Alaric Jackson is dealing with a chest injury that kept him sidelined on Monday. Jackson played all 53 offensive snaps against the Vikings and was not on the injury report the previous week.
(*The Rams did not practice on Wednesday. The injury report is an estimation.)
