The Philadelphia Eagles are less than 24 away from returning to the field for an early Sunday afternoon matchup against the Saints.
The Birds are the favorite and will look to move to 14-2 on the season while maintaining their lead in the NFC.
Jalen Hurts will miss his second straight game with a shoulder injury, while Jonathan Gannon’s retooled defense will look to adjust without Avonte Maddox and C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
Here’s your updated 53-man roster for Week 17 with Philadelphia choosing to rule right tackle Lane Johnson out until the playoffs.
#1 QB Jalen Hurts
Hurts returned to practice in a limited capacity but will miss his second straight contest with a shoulder injury.
#2 CB Darius Slay
Slay will look to rebound after a poor performance against the Cowboys.
#3 WR Zach Pascal
#4 K Jake Elliott
#6 WR Devonta Smith
#7 LB Haason Reddick
Reddick is among the league leaders in sacks and his blockbuster free-agent signing has paid off in year one.
#10 QB Gardner Minshew
Minshew will make his second straight start after a solid performance in the loss to Dallas.
#11 WR A.J. Brown
Brown will look for another huge performance against a battered Saints secondary.
#14 RB Kenneth Gainwell
Gainwell saw an increase in snaps during the loss to Dallas and is the Eagles’ third-down pass catcher.
#16 WR Quez Watkins
Watkins was the target on both of Gardner Minshew’s interceptions and he’ll need to be tougher when it comes to 50-50 balls.
#17 LB Nakobe Dean
#18 WR Britain Covey
#19 QB Ian Book
#22 S Marcus Epps
#24 CB James Bradberry
#26 RB Miles Sanders
Sanders will also look to get back on track after fumbles in the past two weeks.
#27 CB Zech McPhearson
#28 CB Josh Jobe
#29 CB Avonte Maddox
Philadelphia’s talented slot cornerback will miss an extended period of time after suffering a toe injury.
#32 S Reed Blankenship
#33 CB Josiah Scott
Scott’s play in the slot has been scrutinized over the past few weeks and he played the main role in Dak Prescott’s 3rd and 30-yard completion to T.Y. Hilton.
#34 RB Trey Sermon
#35 RB Boston Scott
#42 S K'Von Wallace
Wallace has seen an increased role in the Eagles’ secondary with C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Avonte Maddox out.
#43 LB Kyzir White
White will be playing against his Brother and Saints wide receiver, Kevin White, a former All-American at West Virginia.
#45 LS Rick Lovato
#48 LB Patrick Johnson
#51 C Cam Jurgens
#53 LB Christian Elliss
Like Kyzir White, Elliss will also take the field against his brother, as Kaden Elliss is the starting SAM linebacker for New Orleans.
#54 LB Shaun Bradley
#55 DE Brandon Graham
#56 OL Isaac Seumalo
#57 LB T.J. Edwards
#58 LB Kyron Johnson
#59 DE Janarius Robinson
#61 OL Josh Sills
#62 C Jason Kelce
#63 OL Jack Driscoll
All eyes will be on Driscoll, with the expectation that he’ll start at right tackle in place of an injured Lane Johnson.
#65 OL Lane Johnson
Johnson will miss the first of two regular-season games with an abdominal injury and the plan is for Philadelphia to clinch home-field advantage, allowing the right tackle three weeks to rest.
#68 OL Jordan Mailata
#69 OL Landon Dickerson
#72 DT Linval Joseph
#74 DT Ndamukong Suh
#77 LT Andre Dillard
Dillard could be a player to watch if Philadelphia chooses to flip Jordan Mailata over to right tackle in place of Lane Johnson.
#78 OL Sua Opeta
#81 TE Grant Calcaterra
#88 TE Dallas Goedert
#89 TE Jack Stoll
#90 DT Jordan Davis
#91 DT Fletcher Cox
#93 DT Milton Williams
#94 DE Josh Sweat
#97 DT Javon Hargrave
