News on who’s in and who’s out.
The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced the inactives list for their 2025 NFL Week 16 game against the Washington Commanders.
The following Eagles players WILL NOT PLAY: Lane Johnson, Jalen Carter, Cameron Latu, Joshua Uche, A.J. Dillon, Mac McWilliams, and Sam Howell.
Lane Johnson was initially expected to return this week, but wasn’t able to get back on the field early enough to play in this week’s game. Fred Johnson was dealing with an ankle injury earlier in the week, but will be able to fill in at right tackle until Lane comes back.
Jalen Carter’s timeline to return is a little less clear, and if the defense plays like they did against the Raiders — and Brandon Graham continues to work inside — they’re in no rush to bring him back before the postseason.
Cameron Latu will miss Saturday’s game after dealing with a stinger during the week. He was a limited participant on Wednesday and full participant on Thursday, but the team elevated TE E.J. Jenkins for the game, instead.
This will be the fourth game in a row that Joshua Uche has been a healthy scratch, and the edge rusher hasn’t played a defensive snap since Week 8.
A.J. Dillon has been relegated as a healthy scratch for eight of the Eagles’ last nine games, and hasn’t played a snap since Week 6.
Mac McWilliams is a healthy scratch again, but could see some more playing time if the Eagles clinch the NFC East and their postseason spot this week or next.
Sam Howell is the emergency third quarterback, but he can only enter the game if both Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee are sidelined.
