Panthers vs. Eagles Injury Report

It looks like the Eagles will get one of their top offensive playmakers back in the lineup on Sunday when the team returns home to Lincoln Financial Field to take on the Carolina Panthers.

The Eagles held a walkthrough on Wednesday, so the injury report is an estimation, but if they held a full practice, wide receiver DeVonta Smith would have been a full participant.

Smith has been out for the last two games with a hamstring injury. The Slim Reaper is second on the team in both receptions (41) and receiving yards (516), while being tied for first with four touchdown catches.

Fellow wide receiver Johnny Wilson, who also missed Sunday's win over the Ravens with a hamstring injury, would have been limited in Wednesday's practice.

Cornerback Darius Slay, who suffered a concussion in the win over Los Angeles two weeks ago, would have been a limited participant as he remains in the protocol.

Unfortunately, tight end Dallas Goedert would have missed practice with a knee injury that he incurred Sunday in Baltimore. The Eagles signed tight end C.J. Uzomah from the practice squad to the active roster on Wednesday.

"We'll see on Dallas as the week continues on," Head Coach Nick Sirianni said. "As far as C.J. goes, veteran. What a great teammate he is. As you look back and you talk to teams that he's been on as we got him here on this team, everyone says the same thing: What a great teammate.

"I think you could ask his teammates, particularly in the tight end room and the offense, what type of guy he is, and they'd say the same thing: Great teammate. Glue guy. Has done some nice things on special teams and has taken advantage of some of the opportunities he's had.

"Had a really good play in four-minute the other day that he came through and led through on a block on a really good player and was able to get movement there.

"He just brings veteran reliability, and, again, bringing guys together on the football team. And then, he's had some big production where we know if we can throw him the ball, he can do something with it and make plays. And then what he does as a blocker."

Safeties Reed Blankenship (concussion) and Sydney Brown (knee), and wide receiver/punt returner Britain Covey (neck) also would have missed practice on Wednesday.
