Introduction

The Philadelphia Eagles have officially issued their first injury report of the week as they prepare to host the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15 of the NFL season. Because the team held a walkthrough rather than a full practice session, the report is considered estimated, offering the most complete look yet at who might play—and who might not—this Sunday.

Injury reports sometimes spark more questions than answers, but this one has drawn significant attention due to the number of key contributors on both sides of the field experiencing physical setbacks. From potential returns to lingering injuries that could impact game plans, both teams face uncertainty as kickoff approaches.

Eagles Injury Report: Who’s In and Who’s Still Questionable

Philadelphia’s report featured a mix of participation statuses, from players who did not take part in the walkthrough to those who participated fully.

Did Not Participate (DNP)

• DT Jalen Carter (shoulders)
• OT Lane Johnson (foot)

These two names are among the most significant omissions from Wednesday’s availability chart.

Lane Johnson, one of the Eagles’ premier offensive linemen, did not participate in the walkthrough. After hinting that he might play on Sunday, his absence from Wednesday’s activities is not an encouraging sign. That said, this is just one data point; how he looks in practice later in the week will likely determine whether he’s active on game day.

Jalen Carter appears to be trending in the opposite direction. With shoulder issues keeping him out of the walkthrough, NFL insiders believe that his absence could extend into Sunday’s game. His presence—or lack thereof—could affect the Eagles’ defensive pressure and run-stopping capabilities.

Limited Participation

• OG Landon Dickerson (calf)

Landon Dickerson, the starting guard who has battled calf tightness, was limited in the walkthrough. While the Eagles seem optimistic about his chances to suit up, the limited tag suggests that he is still managing discomfort. If he is active, Philadelphia could have its starting interior line intact, but the final decision may come down to how he feels later in the week.

Full Participation

• LB Zack Baun (hand)
• LS Charley Hughlett (abdomen)

Two Eagles players recorded full participation during the walkthrough.

Zack Baun, despite dealing with a hand injury, appears ready to play. His availability will be a boost to the Eagles’ linebacker rotation and special teams units.

Meanwhile, Charley Hughlett’s full participation carries additional significance. The Eagles opened his 21-day practice window after he was placed on injured reserve. With the team waiving long snapper Cal Adomitis, Hughlett is expected to be activated in time to handle snapping duties on Sunday.

Raiders Injury Report: Notable Absences and Possible Returns

The Raiders’ injury report presented its own set of storylines, particularly concerning some of their biggest names.

Did Not Participate (DNP)

• QB Geno Smith (right shoulder/back)
• EDGE Maxx Crosby (knee/shoulder)
• LB Jamal Adams (knee)
• S Jeremy Chinn (back)
• TE Ian Thomas (calf)

The most notable absence here is Geno Smith, the Raiders’ starting quarterback. Smith did not practice and is reportedly unlikely to play against the Eagles. If Smith is unavailable, Kenny Pickett is believed to be on track to start under center. Pickett brings his own strengths and challenges to the matchup, forcing the Eagles’ defensive staff to prepare for a different style of quarterback play.

Defensive stalwart Maxx Crosby also did not participate in Wednesday’s session due to knee and shoulder concerns. Though Crosby played all of his team’s snaps in Week 14 despite limited practice last week, his absence from Wednesday’s walkthrough adds an element of suspense to his status. If he can suit up, his presence will significantly boost the Raiders’ pass rush.

Jamal Adams and Jeremy Chinn both missed Wednesday’s practice as well. Adams saw limited action in Week 14, which could suggest that the Raiders are managing his workload to preserve him for Sunday. Chinn, another key piece in Las Vegas’s defensive rotation, also did not participate.

Tight end Ian Thomas was another name listed as not participating, though his role is less central compared to some of the other absences.

Limited Participation

• WR Alex Bachman (thumb)
• TE Michael Mayer (ankle)
• OT Kolton Miller (ankle)
• WR Dont’e Thornton Jr. (concussion)

This group includes a mix of offensive weapons and line personnel. Kolton Miller, a starting left tackle returning from injured reserve, logged limited participation, signaling that he may be eased into action.

Michael Mayer and Alex Bachman also practiced in a limited capacity, which could mean they’ll be available but perhaps with restricted roles depending on how they feel later in the week.

Dont’e Thornton Jr. logged limited reps as he works through a concussion protocol, an important development for the Raiders’ receiving corps.

Full Participation

• C/G Jordan Meredith (foot)

Meredith recorded full participation, a positive sign for Las Vegas’s offensive line stability.

Key Storylines Emerging From the Reports

Several themes emerged as a result of both reports:

1. Quarterback Situation in Las Vegas

With Geno Smith’s status uncertain or potentially ruled out, the Raiders’ quarterback picture becomes one of the most consequential storylines of the week. Kenny Pickett—if he starts—brings a different set of traits than Smith. His mobility and decision-making dynamics will be crucial in how the Eagles strategize defensively.

2. Eagles Offensive Line Continuity

Philadelphia’s offensive line has faced challenges this season, and Lane Johnson’s absence—if it persists—could leave the unit scrambling for continuity. Landon Dickerson’s status will likewise determine how stable the interior remains.

3. Defense: Impact Players on Both Sides

Both teams risk missing key defensive contributors. Jalen Carter’s potential absence could affect the Eagles’ ability to create pressure, while Maxx Crosby’s status looms large for the Raiders. The chess match between pass rush and protection schemes could well be dictated by who ultimately suits up.

Looking Ahead to Thursday’s Practice and Final Decisions

The estimated injury report is an early snapshot—but not the final word. With more official practices scheduled later in the week, both teams will get additional opportunities to evaluate their veterans and adjust depth charts as needed. Thursday’s session, in particular, will be a crucial barometer for players listed as “Did Not Participate” or “Limited.”

For fans, fantasy owners, and game planners alike, the middle of the week often brings the clearest indication of Sunday’s lineup. By Friday’s official report, many of the lingering questions will likely be answered—though some late surprises are always possible in the NFL.

Conclusion

As the Eagles and Raiders gear up for what looms as a pivotal Week 15 showdown, both sides face a litany of uncertainties on the injury front. From quarterback availability in Las Vegas to key offensive and defensive contributors in Philadelphia, the health statuses of several impact players will help shape not only how each team prepares but also how they execute when the game begins.

The estimated injury report gives the first real look into those questions—but it is only the beginning of what promises to be an intriguing week of preparation, speculation, and anticipation as both teams chase critical late-season momentum.
