\"\"The\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0issued their second official injury report on Thursday in advance of their Week 14 home game against the\u00a0Carolina Panthers.<\/p>\n

The Eagles listed three players under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: Dallas Goedert, Reed Blankenship, and Sydney Brown.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goedert is reportedly set to miss multiple games due to a knee injury. The Eagles will go with Grant Calcaterra and C.J. Uzomah as their tight ends. Newly signed Khari Blasingame could be temporarily elevated from the practice squad to help serve as TE3 in addition to playing fullback. The Eagles might also opt to use a sixth offensive lineman as a blocking tight end at times like they did with Tyler Steen after Goedert got hurt in Week 13.<\/p>\n

Blankenship missed practice for the second day in a row while still in concussion protocol. He\u2019s on track to miss Sunday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Brown also missed practice for the second day in a row. If both Blankenship and Brown can\u2019t play, the Eagles are down to just two healthy safeties on the active roster: C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Tristin McCollum. Backup nickel cornerback Avonte Maddox spent time cross-training at safety in the offseason so he\u2019ll likely be a depth option. The Eagles could also look to temporarily elevate Andre\u2019 Sam from the practice squad.<\/p>\n

The Eagles listed two players under LIMITED PARTICIPATION: Britain Covey and Johnny Wilson.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Covey was upgraded to limited after being listed under DNP for Wednesday\u2019s practice due to a neck injury. Seems like the Eagles might have their primary punt returner\/rotational receiver available for this game.<\/p>\n

Wilson was limited for the second day in a row due to hamstring injury. He could be able to play this weekend but the Eagles might want to err on the side of caution here. We\u2019ll find out more about his status through Friday\u2019s final injury report.<\/p>\n

The Eagles listed six players under FULL PARTICIPATION: DeVonta Smith, Darius Slay, Saquon Barkley, Jalen Carter, Mekhi Becton, and Josh Sweat.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smith was listed as full go for the second day in a row. He\u2019s on track to play for the first time since Week 11 (November 14). The Eagles will at least have DeVonta, A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, and Ainias Smith available at wide receiver.<\/p>\n

Slay was full go for the first time since suffering a concussion in Week 12. The veteran starting cornerback is on track to return after missing Week 13.<\/p>\n

Barkley, Carter, Becton, and Sweat were all upgraded to full after being listed as limited on Wednesday due to rest. They\u2019re ready to roll.<\/p>\n

CAROLINA PANTHERS INJURY REPORT (THURSDAY)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Panthers listed three players under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: starting right tackle Taylor Moton, sack leader Jadeveon Clowney, and top off-ball linebacker Josey Jewell.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moton was resting.<\/p>\n

The \u201cnot injury-related\/rest\u201d part of Clowney\u2019s injury description was removed from Wednesday to Thursday. He\u2019s now just listed with \u201cknee.\u201d He might not be able to play this weekend? Wouldn\u2019t be a good development for a pass rush that ranks tied for second-to-last in sacks per game.<\/p>\n

Jewell was downgraded from limited on Wednesday to DNP on Thursday. Doesn\u2019t seem like a positive sign for his playing chances.<\/p>\n

The Panthers listed four players under LIMITED PARTICIPATION: starting tight end Ja\u2019Tavion Sanders, starting wide receiver Jalen Coker, starting edge rusher D.J. Wonnum, and backup cornerback Caleb Farley.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sanders and Wonnnum were limited for the second day in a row. It\u2019s unclear if they\u2019ll be able to play on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Coker was downgraded from full go on Wednesday to limited on Thursday. The Panthers\u2019 rookie receiver might not be able to suit up after all.<\/p>\n
