Wednesday's Injury Report
The Eagles held a walkthrough on Wednesday in advance of Sunday's NFC Championship Game at Lincoln Financial Field.
Head Coach Nick Sirianni told reporters that both quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) and cornerback Quinyon Mitchell (shoulder) would participate and they did. If the Eagles held a full practice, both players would have been limited on Wednesday.
"Taking it a day at a time," said Hurts, who confirmed that he will play Sunday.
When asked if the knee injury would impact his ability to run on Sunday, Hurts explained that "every game is different."
Mitchell, who exited Sunday's win on the opening defensive drive, said that he's, "Feeling good, ready to go this Sunday. Just tried to make a tackle, kind of like felt something in my shoulder/neck area, just couldn't come back in."
Tight end Dallas Goedert, who has eight catches for 103 yards and a touchdown in the playoffs, would have missed practice with an ankle injury.
Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens, who has played every offensive snap of the playoffs, would have missed practice with a back injury.
Everyone else would have practiced in at least a limited capacity. Wide receiver/punt returner Britain Covey, who had his 21-day practice window opened on Wednesday, was a limited participant with the neck injury that landed him on Injured Reserve.
DID NOT PARTICIPATE
- TE Dallas Goedert (Ankle)

*Eagles participated in a walkthrough, so Wednesday's injury report is an estimation.
G Sam Cosmi out with knee injury
Sam Cosmi, who has thrived moving inside to right guard this season, will not play Sunday against the Eagles after suffering what Head Coach Dan Quinn called an ACL injury in the win over the Detroit Lions.
Cosmi suffered the injury in the second quarter and was replaced by Trent Scott, who is set to start.
This is a key matchup because the player on the Eagles' side of the field is All-Pro Jalen Carter, who has eight pressures, five QB hits, two sacks, and a forced fumble in the playoffs.
Scott typically is a reserve tackle, so it's not necessarily set in stone that he'll be the first guy called up on Sunday.
Two other key defensive players did not practice due to injury on Wednesday. Defensive tackle Daron Payne (knee/finger) and linebacker Bobby Wagner (ankle).
