Wild Card game status updates.
The Philadelphia Eagles issued their third and final official injury report in advance of their Wild Card home playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Eagles ruled three players QUESTIONABLE: Lane Johnson, Brett Toth, and Azeez Ojulari.
Johnson was limited for all three practices this week. The team probably would’ve liked to see him get at least one full session in. Lane might start at right tackle anyway but it doesn’t seem like a lock at the moment. Maybe a game-time decision. If he can’t go, it’ll be Fred Johnson in his place once again.
Toth missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before being upgraded to limited participation on Friday. There’s a chance he could clear concussion protocol in time to play on Sunday. If he’s not cleared, the Eagles will be without their top backup at the interior offensive line positions. Matt Pryor and Drew Kendall will move up the depth chart in that case.
The Eagles opened Ojulari’s 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve earlier this week but there’s no indication they’re in a rush to activate him to the roster when they already have ample edge rusher depth.
Jalen Carter, Dallas Goedert, Nakobe Dean, Marcus Epps, Jaelan Phillips, and Grant Calcaterra are listed without game statuses.
They’re all ready to play.
Carter and Goedert were notably upgraded to full go on Friday after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday.
The Eagles have until 4:00 PM Eastern on Saturday to temporarily elevate up to two players from the practice squad to play on Sunday. Long snapper Charley Hughlett will be one of those elevations.

Smith unexpectedly retired from football on October 13. Alexander was placed on this list on November 12.
RESERVE/INJURED
OT Myles Hinton
G/C Willie Lampkin
S Andrew Mukuba
EDGE Azeez Ojulari (practice window open)
EDGE Ogbo Okoronkwo
FB Ben VanSumeren
WR Johnny Wilson
The Eagles opened Ojulari’s 21-day practice window to return from IR on January 7. Mukuba is eligible to return from IR but presumably not healthy enough to play. Practice windows to return from IR were previously opened for Lampkin and Hinton but the Eagles did not activate them before they closed, thus ending their seasons. BVS, Wilson, and Okoronkwo suffered season-ending injuries.
