The Eagles’ inactive designations compress both lines: Lane Johnson (foot) and Jalen Carter (shoulders) are listed out of the lineup, reshaping protection and interior rush, while Marcus Epps (shoulder, questionable) alters nickel and dime packages if he cannot go.
Jahan Dotson’s toe listing and Zack Baun’s hand status inform receiver rotations and sub-package linebacker usage; final role decisions typically follow pregame tests and position-coach sign-off.
For the Chargers, Herbert’s questionable status defines the offensive approach; his pregame throwing session determines his availability and the structure of the game plan. Hampton’s ankle and Haskins’ hamstring listings shape the backfield split, with Vidal prepared for lead touches if either is limited.
Up front, Pipkins’ back and Ogbonnia’s elbow guide snap counts, while Mack and James anchor pressure and coverage against Philadelphia’s RPO and vertical shots. Final inactives will confirm any lineup adjustments before kickoff.
