The Philadelphia Eagles issued their first official injury report of the week on Wednesday in advance of their Week 5 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.<\/p>\n

The Eagles listed seven players under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, Drew Kendall, Jonathan Greenard, Jihaad Campbell, Marcus Epps, and Hollywood Brown.<\/p>\n

Barkley suffered a hamstring injury during the Eagles\u2019 Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He\u2019s reportedly \u201cweek-to-week<\/a>.\u201d Barkley figures to be unavailable against the Jags but he\u2019s not expected to be placed on injured reserve, meaning the Eagles are expecting to have him back before he has to miss four games. With Barkley likely out and Tank Bigsby going on injured reserve, the Eagles have two running backs on the roster: Will Shipley and Dameon Pierce, who was called up from the practice squad<\/a> on Wednesday. They also still have Carson Steele and Jaydon Blue on the practice squad.<\/p>\n

Smith was seen stretching on the sideline as the rest of the team warmed up together. Seems like he\u2019ll miss this game but maybe he has a chance to return in Week 6? We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n

Kendall\u2019s knee injury is a new development. If he can\u2019t play, the Eagles will have to go with their third different starting center through five games this season. Willie Lampkin could get the nod at the pivot with \u2026 Fred Johnson? Jake Majors? Micah Morris? \u2026 at left guard. Not exactly ideal.<\/p>\n

Greenard suffered an ankle injury in Week 4. He\u2019s reportedly \u201cday-to-day<\/a>,\u201d which is typically less serious than \u201cweek-to-week.\u201d We\u2019ll see if he\u2019s able to practice at all on Thursday. If not, he\u2019ll probably miss Sunday. But he might then be able to return in Week 6.<\/p>\n

Campbell is listed with a knee injury. If the second-year linebacker can\u2019t suit up, look for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. to start in his place. There have been calls for the Eagles to bench Campbell in favor of Trot Jr. When asked about Trot Jr. earlier this week, Fangio said he \u201cplayed very well.\u201d Then asked if Trot Jr. warrants more playing time, Fangio said: \u201cPossibly, yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

Epps could miss a second straight game. If that\u2019s the case, look for Michael Carter II to play safety in the Eagles\u2019 nickel packages next to Andrew Mukuba. Cooper DeJean is still starting at safety in Philly\u2019s base defense. Kenny Moore II will provide depth on the back end as he gets more acclimated to playing a new position.<\/p>\n

Brown is on track to miss his third game in a row. If he\u2019s not ready to play in Week 6, the Eagles will have wasted his roster spot when they could\u2019ve just put him on IR to miss four games. If Brown and Smith both don\u2019t play, the Eagles will roll with the following five receivers: Dontayvion Wicks, Darius Cooper, Makai Lemon, Britain Covey, and Elijah Moore.<\/p>\n

The Eagles listed four players under LIMITED PARTICIPATION: Quinyon Mitchell, Zack Baun, Dallas Goedert, and Fred Johnson.<\/p>\n

Mitchell suffered a knee injury in Week 4 that prevented him from returning to the game after he left. Seems like he might be able to suit up this week. Or next week at the latest. If not, it\u2019ll be seasoned veteran Jonathan Jones starting in his place.<\/p>\n

Baun miss Week 4 while in the concussion protocol. That he\u2019s progressed to the point where he can be limited in practice is a good sign for his chances of playing this weekend. It could be Baun and Trot Jr. starting at off-ball linebacker. Big boost for the Eagles\u2019 defense to get Baun back.<\/p>\n

Goedert returned to practice for the first time suffering a knee injury in Week 2. He might be able to play against the Jags. If so, the Eagles could have four tight ends active for Sunday: Goedert, Johnny Mundt, Zach Ertz, and E.J. Jenkins. Will be interesting to see how that snap count plays out.<\/p>\n

Fred Johnson returned to practice after missing the Eagles\u2019 last two games. With Markel Bell seemingly in line to start for the recently retired Lane Johnson, Fred Johnson could serve as the Eagles\u2019 swing tackle behind Bell and Jordan Mailata. Or Fred Johnson could potentially start at guard if Kendall can\u2019t play and they need him to fill in with Lampkin moving to center.<\/p>\n
