Latest Injury Report News and Updates
Both the Eagles and Rams dealt with a plethora of injuries earlier in the regular season. While both teams have gotten healthier recently, the Eagles could be without a key starter on Sunday night in Los Angeles.
Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith missed all three practices ahead of Sunday night’s matchup due to a hamstring injury and has been ruled out. Smith has been battling the hamstring injury, but he had not missed multiple practices due to the issue before this week.
Following Philadelphia’s win in Week 11, Smith walked gingerly to the locker room.

The Eagles will also be without edge rusher Bryce Huff (IR), as he will reportedly undergo wrist surgery to address a nagging injury. Huff attempted to play through the injury in recent weeks, yet he is now undergoing surgery, and his return timeline is uncertain.
Meanwhile, the Rams appear to be in good shape ahead of their matchup with the scorching-hot Eagles. Charles Woods and Kevin Dotson were the only players who missed practice on Thursday; Dotson was out due to an illness and will likely play in Week 12 while Woods will be out with an ankle injury.
Lineman KT Leveston (ankle) is out despite practicing fully all week, and Rob Havenstein (ankle; DNP, limited, limited) is doubtful for Week 12.
