The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a potentially highly consequential injury against the Detroit Lions Week 11, when they lost Lane Johnson likely for a least a month with a Lisfranc sprain<\/a>. The Dallas Cowboys recently had some important players return to the field, and they are pretty healthy for a Week 12 game.<\/p>\n

Here’s the Eagles-Cowboys injury report, with analysis.<\/p>\n

Wednesday notes:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Lane Johnson has had a tough 2025 season. He left the Week 3 Rams game with a neck injury, the Week 4 Buccaneers game with a shoulder injury, the Week 10 Packers game with an ankle injury, and most recently, the Week 11 Lions game with his Linfranc injury. Johnson will likely end up on injured reserve, but the Eagles have not yet made that roster move.<\/p>\n

Whenever Johnson has had to come out of games this season, he has been replaced by Fred Johnson, who was the team’s swing tackle in 2024 but who left in free agency last offseason. He returned via trade just before the start of the 2025 season. Fred Johnson has played as reasonably well as anyone could have hoped for in Lane Johnson’s absence. However, it’s worth noting that Fred Johnson has not yet started any games, so opposing defensive coordinators almost certainly haven’t spent a lot of time picking apart his tape and trying to exploit any weaknesses they might find. The Cowboys will.<\/p>\n

Another concern is if the Eagles will need to count on Matt Pryor at any point, should Fred Johnson or Jordan Mailata go down.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Jurgens has had a tough season, too. He missed the bulk of training camp while still recovering from back surgery. He wasn’t 100 percent healed when the season began, but he played through it, and hasn’t been the same player he was a year ago. Jurgens suffered a knee injury against the Lions, and did not return. He now appears on the injury report with a concussion. Jurgens has missed two games this season, and it feels like he’ll miss third against the Cowboys. We’ll see. There’s an argument to be made that replacement Brett Toth has played better at center when Jurgens has been out.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Eagles opened up the 21-day practice window for Hinton’s return from IR. Lane Johnson’s injury probably has something to do with that.<\/p>\n

\u2022 This will be Lampkin’s third week of practice. He remains on IR, though.<\/p>\n

Notable players on IR, PUP, suspension, etc.<\/p>\n

\u2022 WR Johnny Wilson (IR, knee\/ankle, out for the season):\u00a0Wilson is a massive receiver at 6’6, 228 who carved out a dirty work role as a physical blocker his rookie season in 2024, though sometimes he was a little too aggressive, as he committed four penalties (3 holding, 1 OPI).\u00a0He wasn’t much of a threat as a receiver, catching only 5 passes for 38 yards and a TD. He played a little over 400 snaps, and actually started four games.<\/p>\n

\u2022 EDGE Ogbo Okoronkwo (IR, triceps, eligible to come off of IR at any time, season could be over): Okoronko was signed to provide edge depth. He played in just one game (4 snaps), before tearing his triceps.<\/p>\n

\u2022 FB Ben VanSumeren (IR, knee, out for the season): VanSumeren was poised to take on a bigger role in the Eagles’ offense in 2025 as a full-time fullback, but he tore his patellar tendon on the opening kickoff of the season. His season is over.<\/p>\n

\u2022 LS Charley Hughlett (IR, eligible to come off of IR at any time): Hughlett throws the ball through his legs. The Eagles signed\u00a0Cal Adomitis to throw the ball through his legs in place of Hughlett, and he has played well, even contributing as a tackler on the punt coverage unit.<\/p>\n

\u2022 iOL Willie Lampkin (IR, eligible to come off of IR at any time):\u00a0Lampkin is an extreme oddity, in that he is a 5’11 offensive lineman who only weighs 290 pounds. He looks like a player you’d create in Madden just for fun. However, coming out of North Carolina he received glowing reviews for his play on the field, ands he played well in the preseason after signing with the Rams as an undrafted rookie free agent. The Rams waived Lampkin with an injury designation. The Eagles then claimed him and place him on their IR.<\/p>\n

\u2022 OT Myles Hinton: Hinton is a sixth-round rookie who was up and down in training camp. The Eagles placed him on IR with a back injury, and he has not been on the active roster all season.<\/p>\n

Wednesday notes (walkthrough, injuries an estimation):\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 Prescott is fine, just soreness, per head coach Brian Schottenheimer.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Smith is the Cowboys’ best offensive lineman. He played every snap against the Raiders Monday night. He’ll likely play.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hooker and Wilson are starting safeties who both returned to the field against the Raiders Week 11 after missing time. Hooker had missed the previous five games; Wilson missed the previous two. Hooker played particularly well against the Raiders.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Fowler has 7 tackles, 2 sacks this season. Clowney has 8 tackles, 2 sacks. They’re both part of the edge rusher rotation.<\/p>\n

Notable players on IR, PUP, suspension, etc.<\/p>\n

\u2022 CB Trevon Diggs (IR, eligible to return after Week 12): Diggs was unexpectedly available for the Eagles-Cowboys matchup Week 1 after rehabbing a knee injury all offseason. He played in six games this season before landing on IR with a head injury suffered in his own home. He also has a knee injury, though it’s not the same knee he rehabbed during the offseason. Diggs was one of the NFL’s premier ballhawks, but he is not close to the player he once was. The Cowboys’ CB snaps looked like this Week 11 in Las Vegas:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Caelen Carson: 60 snaps
\u2022 DaRon Bland: 57 snaps
\u2022 Shavon Revel (NFL debut): 19 snaps<\/p>\n

\u2022 LB Jack Sanborn (IR, eligible to return after Week 13): Sanborn was a starting linebacker for the Cowboys, but he landed on IR with a groin injury. At the trade deadline, the Cowboys added Logan Wilson, who has taken over part of Sanborn’s role.<\/p>\n

\u2022 S Juanyeh Thomas (NFI, eligible to return after Week 14): Thomas is the Cowboys’ third safety. He has been suffering from migraines, so the Cowboys placed him on the non-football injury list. He’ll miss at least four games.<\/p>\n

\u2022 OG Rob Jones (IR): Jones suffered a fracture in his neck, and his season is over. He signed with the Cowboys this offseason on a one-year deal worth $3.75 million. He was poised to be an important backup, active on gamedays.<\/p>\n

\u2022 RB Miles Sanders (IR): Sanders’ season is over with knee\/ankle injuries. His fumble Week 1 against the Eagles was probably the biggest play of the game. The Eagles would have probably preferred that Sanders be healthy for this matchup.<\/p>\n

\u2022 CB Josh Butler (IR): Butler is a depth corner who started three games for the Cowboys last season. He has not played in any games this season.<\/p>\n

\u2022 RB Phil Mafah (IR): Seventh-round rookie, got some positive training camp buzz, has missed the entire season so far with a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n

\u2022 DE Payton Turner (IR): Turner busted as a Saints first-round pick, but he was expected to play a supporting role on the Cowboys’ D-line this season. He’s been on IR all season so far with broken ribs.<\/p>\n

\u2022 OG Trevor Keegan (IR): Our old friend.<\/p>\n

\u2022 We should also mention\u00a0DE Marshawn Kneeland, who had 12 tackles and a sack in a rotational role before he passed away.<\/p>\n
