SUNDAY MORNING UPDATE: The Eagles downgraded tackle Lane Johnson to out due to a concussion. Click here for details.
SATURDAY UPDATE: The Eagles downgraded A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Devin White (personal reasons) to out for Sunday.
Who missed practice for the Eagles on Friday?
The only player who did not participate in Friday's practice for the Eagles was wide receiver DeVonta Smith, who was ruled out with the concussion he suffered last Sunday against the Saints.
That means, yes, both wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) and tackle Lane Johnson (concussion) returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday. Both players are questionable. Brown suffered the hamstring injury preparing for the Week 2 Monday night game against Atlanta. Johnson, like Smith, incurred the concussion in New Orleans.
Everyone else on the Eagles' roster is good to go for Sunday, including defensive tackle Milton Williams, who was added to the injury report on Thursday as a limited participant with a groin injury,
OUT
• WR DeVonta Smith (Concussion)
QUESTIONABLE
• WR A.J. Brown (Hamstring)
• T Lane Johnson (Concussion)

Who missed practice for the Eagles on Thursday?
The Eagles were once again without wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring), right tackle Lane Johnson (concussion), and wide receiver DeVonta Smith (concussion) in the team's first full practice of the week leading into Sunday's showdown with the Buccaneers. The trio did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough.
Fred Johnson replaced Lane Johnson at right tackle during Sunday's win over the Saints. Brown has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury. With Brown, Smith, and also Britain Covey all sidelined before the end of Sunday's game, the Eagles relied on Parris Campbell, Jahan Dotson, and Johnny Wilson at receiver. Cooper DeJean took over the punt return duties for Covey.
Defensive tackle Milton Williams was added to the injury report on Thursday as a limited participant with a groin injury. Williams is fourth among the team's defensive linemen with 90 snaps played this season, just shy of 50 percent of the reps. Williams, who can play both end and tackle, has five tackles, a sack, and a pair of QB pressures this season.
Good news for the Eagles is that both starting guards – Mekhi Becton (finger) and Landon Dickerson (wrist) – were full participants on Thursday. Both would have been limited participants on Wednesday.
The final injury report of the week and the game status report will be released on Friday afternoon.

Who missed practice on Thursday for the Buccaneers?
Here are the notable changes from Wednesday's injury report for Tampa Bay.
Defensive tackle Greg Gaines (ankle) was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant.
Running back Bucky Irving, Tampa Bay's leading rusher with more than 6.0 yards per carry, was downgraded and did not practice Thursday with a hamstring injury.
The statuses of three key defensive players are up in the air as defensive tackle Calijah Kancey (calf) and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (foot) did not practice for a second straight day, while nose tackle Vita Vea (knee) remained limited.
Two of the Bucs' starting offensive linemen are trending in a positive direction for Sunday as center Graham Barton (ankle) and starting right tackle Luke Godecke (concussion) were full participants. Starting left tackle Tristan Wirfs, however, was limited for the second day in a row with a knee injury.
Who missed practice for the Eagles on Wednesday?
The Eagles held a walkthrough, but if there had been a full practice, the team would have been without wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring), tackle Lane Johnson (concussion), and wide receiver DeVonta Smith (concussion).
Brown has missed the past two games with the injury. Johnson and Smith both suffered concussions in Sunday's win over New Orleans.
Wide receiver Jahan Dotson said that he's "extremely comfortable" with the offense if he's thrust into a larger role this week.
"I don't know when my moment can be or will be, but making sure when I'm in that moment, I'm ready for it," Dotson said.
Running back Saquon Barkley, the NFL's leading rusher, knows that Tampa Bay's defense could key in on him more if Brown and Smith are sidelined.
"Trust the game plan and trust your teammates and go out there and try to execute at a high level," Barkley said.
Cornerback Darius Slay, who missed the end of Sunday's game after being blocked out of bounds well past the sideline, would have been a full participant with a knee injury.
Both starting guards – Mekhi Becton (finger) and Landon Dickerson (wrist) – would have been limited.

• T Lane Johnson (Concussion)
• WR DeVonta Smith (Concussion)

Who missed practice for the Buccaneers?
The Buccaneers' injury report for Wednesday is a doozy as 16 (SIXTEEN) players are listed on it. Of those 16 players, however, only four missed practice – wide receiver Kameron Johnson (ankle), defensive tackle Calijah Kancey (calf), and safety Antoine Winfield (foot).
Kancey and Winfield are critical components of the Buccaneers' defense. The Buccaneers have only generated two sacks this season, fewest in the league. However, Tampa Bay is the only team to not allow a pass touchdown, despite being without the All-Pro safety in Winfield.
The Buccaneers are hoping to get some reinforcements along the lines of scrimmage with starting right tackle Luke Goedeke (limited, concussion) and defensive tackle Vita Vea (limited, knee). Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was sacked seven times in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. Without Vea, the Bucs rank 25th in the league in run defense.
