Will make return Sunday
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 9:15 PM
Carter (abdomen) does not have a game designation for Philadelphia's Week 8 matchup against the Commanders on Sunday.
Analysis: Carter missed the Eagles' past two contests after suffering an injury to his abdomen in Week 5. The veteran safety was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday this week, but a full session Friday has cleared the way for him to return to action Sunday. Carter's return will give Philadelphia depth behind top safeties Andrew Mukuba and Marcus Epps. |

Exits league's concussion protocol
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 7:19 PM
Smith (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Analysis: Smith was a full participant in Friday's practice, and he was cleared from the league's concussion protocol after passing an evaluation by an independent neurologist. His return means less defensive snaps will be available for Jalyx Hunt, Arnold Ebiketie and A.J. Epenesa. |

Ruled out for Week 8
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 7:16 PM
Campbell (hamstring/quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington.
Analysis: Campbell was held out of practice all week due to hamstring and quad injuries, so Jeremiah Trotter figures to start alongside Zack Baun at inside linebacker for Sunday's contest. Campbell's next chance to play is Week 9 against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 8. |
Britain Covey Britain Covey Won't play against Washington
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 7:11 PM
Covey (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Analysis: Covey was unable to practice all week due to a knee injury that he sustained during the opening kickoff of Monday's 38-21 loss to the Cowboys. With Dameon Pierce (undisclosed) on injured reserve, Elijah Mitchell figures to handle most of the return duties in the absence of Covey, whose next chance to play is Week 9 against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 8. |
Makai Lemon Makai Lemon Philly's top WR for Week 8
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 5:33 PM
Lemon will be the Eagles' top wide receiver for a second consecutive game Sunday at Washington due to the absences of both DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle).
Analysis: Smith and Wicks have both been held out of practice for the last two weeks while tending to their respective injuries, and they'll both observe Sunday night's NFC East tilt from the sidelines. The Eagles offense has struggled with Tanner McKee under center in place of Jalen Hurts (calf, IR), although Lemon still put together his best game of the season against the Cowboys on Monday, when he caught seven of eight targets for 67 yards and a touchdown. Lemon, Darius Cooper and Hollywood Brown will be the Eagles' top wide receivers against a Commanders defense that ranks 29th in the NFL in passing touchdowns allowed (15) and 28th in passing yards allowed per game (254.0) |
Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Ruled out for Week 8
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 3:19 PM
Wicks (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Commanders.
Analysis: With both Wicks and DeVonta Smith (hamstring) missing a second straight game, Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore should again handle most of the wide-receiver duties for the Eagles. Wicks' next chance to suit up for game action will arrive Nov. 8 against the Giants. |
DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Ruled out for Sunday's game
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 3:17 PM
Smith (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday night's game against the Commanders.
Analysis: Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) has also been ruled out, so both wideouts will miss a second straight contest. Look for Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore to soak up most of the snaps at wideout for Philadelphia. Smith will thus target a potential return to action Nov. 8 against the Giants. |
Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley In clear for Sunday
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 2:59 PM
Barkley (hamstring/back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington.
Analysis: After missing the first two practices of Week 8 prep, Barkley was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday as he deals with a lingering hamstring injury and a new back issue that he sustained Monday against the Cowboys. Earlier Friday, he told Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com, "I would hope so," when asked if he's playing Sunday. With no designation to speak of on the final practice report, Barkley is in the clear ahead of the weekend, and he likely will retain a workhorse role due to the otherwise banged-up nature of the Eagles backfield. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Hopes to play Sunday night
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 12:55 PM
Barkley (hamstring/back) said Friday that he hopes to play in Sunday night's game against the Commanders, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Analysis: After returning to practice Friday following absences to begin the week, Barkley at least appears to have a chance to suit up Sunday night. Expect Barkley to get a questionable designation, so fantasy players will need to have a backup plan in place. Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue are waiver-wire options for managers looking for a one-for-one replacement. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Absent from Friday's practice
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 11:22 AM
Wicks (ankle) wasn't spotted at the start of Friday's practice, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Analysis: With Wicks and DeVonta Smith (hamstring) both remaining DNP on Friday, it appears as if the Eagles are going to head into Sunday night against the Commanders leaning on Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore at wide receiver for the second straight week. |
|
DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Remains absent Friday
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 11:19 AM
Smith (hamstring) remains sidelined for Friday's practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Smith has missed practice all week, making him unlikely to play Sunday night against the Commanders. Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was also absent Friday, paving the way for Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore to again handle wideout duties in Week 8. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Practicing Friday
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 11:15 AM
Barkley (hamstring/back) is practicing Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: After sitting out Wednesday and Thursday's practices, Barkley's return to the field Friday at least gives him a chance to suit up Sunday night against the Commanders. His official participation level and any game designation will provide more clarity on his status heading into the weekend. Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue are next in line for snaps and carries for the Eagles if Barkley is unable to play. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Sits out Thursday's practice
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 4:55 PM
Smith (hamstring) missed Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Smith so far has sat out Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's practice due to a lingering hamstring injury, giving him just one more opportunity to mix into drills this week. The Eagles may make a ruling on Smith's status for Sunday's game in Washington once they post their final Week 8 injury report Friday. |
|
Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley No practice Thursday
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 4:50 PM
Barkley (hamstring/back) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: Barkley has yet to practice this week due to dueling hamstring and back issues, the latter of which knocked him out of Monday's loss to the Cowboys. He relayed to Tim McManus of ESPN.com afterward that he isn't concerned about the most recent injury, but he now has just one more chance to get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's game at Washington. With all of Tank Bigsby (abdomen), Will Shipley (foot) and Dameon Pierce (undisclosed) on IR, Jaydon Blue currently is the only healthy RB on the Eagles' active roster, though the team also used practice squad member Elijah Mitchell in Monday's loss to the Cowboys. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Absent for another practice
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 1:31 PM
Wicks (ankle) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Wicks hasn't practiced in any fashion since Week 6 while he continues to manage an ankle injury. Unless he's able to get back on the field in some capacity Friday, Wicks will likely be ruled out for a second straight game this Sunday at Washington. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Not spotted at practice
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 1:22 PM
Smith (hamstring) wasn't spotted during the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Smith was a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, and he doesn't appear ready to rejoin his teammates one day later. He has sat out three of the past four games and will likely need to practice in at least some capacity Friday to have a chance to play Sunday night against the Commanders. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Not spotted at practice
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 1:19 PM
Barkley (hamstring/back) wasn't spotted warming up at Thursday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After being deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, Barkley now appears absent again at the start of Thursday's session. His official participation level will be confirmed by Philadelphia's injury report later Thursday, but Barkley seems to be trending in the wrong direction after sustaining what he described as a compensatory back injury during Monday's 38-21 loss to the Cowboys, which marked his return from a two-game absence. Jaydon Blue is the top healthy alternative on the Eagles' active roster behind Barkley heading into Sunday night's game against the Commanders, with Elijah Mitchell a candidate to be elevated from the team's practice squad ahead of Week 8 action. |
Jake Elliott Jake Elliott Held back by lack of FG attempts
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 1:08 PM
Elliott made all three of his PAT attempts and didn't attempt a field goal in Monday's 38-21 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Elliott hasn't missed a kick all season, but he remains stuck on five field-goal attempts for the campaign, as the Eagles aren't moving the ball consistently but have found ways to punch in touchdowns when they get in scoring range. With Philadelphia banged up on offense and in the midst of a five-game losing streak, Elliott is facing some headwinds heading into a favorable Week 8 matchup on paper against the Commanders, who are giving up 28.7 points per game. |

Back at practice Wednesday
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 8:22 PM
Smith (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Smith entered the league's concussion protocol against the Panthers in Week 6. He did not practice during Week 7 prep, so his limited session Wednesday indicates that he is progressing in his recovery. He would need to be cleared from the league's protocol by an independent neurologist in order to be available for Sunday's game against the Commanders. |
|
Cleared to practice in limited fashion
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 8:15 PM
Carter (abdomen) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Wednesday was the first time Carter practiced since sustaining an abdominal injury in Week 5 against the Jaguars. He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice, which would likely be enough for him to be cleared to return from a two-game absence and play in Sunday's game against the Commanders. |
