Philadelphia will also be without linebacker Zach Cunningham (knee), Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson (thumb), and Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay (knee).

The Eagles will regain starting right guard Cam Jurgens, who missed the Monday night game in Seattle with a pectoral injury.

He was a full participant in practice all week.
