dpFive out of the Eagles’ six inactives against the Commanders were ruled out with injury on Friday: linebacker Jihaad Campbell (hamstring/quad), wide receiver Britain Covey (knee), cornerback Jonathan Jones (hamstring), wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring), and wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle).
Smith and Wicks miss their second straight game for the Eagles. With Campbell sidelined, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. – who has rotated with Campbell throughout the season – will take the bulk of inside linebacker snaps next to Zack Baun.
All three quarterbacks are active against Washington. Last week, rookie Cole Payton was the third emergency quarterback. Center/guard Jake Majors is inactive for the second week in a row.
The Eagles elevated running back Elijah Mitchell and outside linebacker Mason Reiger from the practice squad on Saturday.
The Commanders will be thin at defensive tackle as star defensive lineman Daron Payne is inactive. Payne was added to the Injury List on Friday with a foot injury and was designated as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. He joins Javon Kinlaw as the second inactive defensive tackle. Kinlaw was ruled out on Friday due to a knee injury he sustained against the 49ers in Week 6.
Two of the Commanders’ cornerbacks, Fabian Moreau and Isaac Yiadom, are listed as inactive. Starting wide receiver Treylon Burks is active for the Commanders after being listed as questionable.
