Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders Injury Report Analysis for Week 18
With their playoff hopes still alive, the Philadelphia Eagles will face the struggling Washington Commanders in Week 18. Fortunately for the Birds, several key players have managed to stay healthy throughout the season, including RT Lane Johnson, LB Nakobe Dean, EDGE Jaelan Phillips, and TE Dallas Goedert, who all missed practice time but should be good to go against the Commanders.
However, some players won't be as fortunate. The Eagles' defense will be without EDGE Ogbo Okoronkwo due to a triceps injury, while LB Jihaad Campbell is listed as limited after dealing with back and shoulder issues. Additionally, veteran defensive lineman iDL Jalen Carter has been ruled out for the game.
On the other side, Washington's offense will face a stiff test against Philadelphia's stout defense. The Commanders are already without their top three offensive linemen, including LT Laremy Tunsil, who suffered an oblique injury in Week 16. While Brandon Coleman is expected to start at left tackle, there are concerns about his fitness levels.
In terms of notable players on IR or PUP, the Eagles have Andrew Mukuba, Johnny Wilson, and Myles Hinton, while Washington has Tyler Biadasz, Zach Ertz, Marshon Lattimore, Trey Amos, Dorance Armstrong, Javontae Jean-Baptiste, Deatrich Wise, Eddie Goldman, Austin Ekeler, Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, and Noah Brown on injured reserve.
Given the Eagles' impressive injury report and Washington's depleted offense line, this Week 18 matchup has all the makings of a close game.

. The fact that the Eagles are getting some big-name players back from injury gives me major hope for their playoff chances 
. But let's be real, Washington's been struggling all season and they just can't seem to get it together 
.
. The Commanders' D-line is basically the Republican Party – old school, out of touch, and not exactly known for their finesse 
. Meanwhile, the Eagles are like the Democratic Party – young, fresh, and hungry to prove themselves 
.
. They gotta step up their game if they wanna make a real push for the playoffs 
. This is gonna be one heck of a game, folks!
. The Eagles are already dealing with some key injuries and now they're gonna have to face the Commanders' struggling offense, which is basically running on fumes at this point. And don't even get me started on Washington's O-line situation - they're essentially playing with a bunch of makeshift linemen who aren't exactly known for their skills 
! Eagles are looking sharp with most key players healthy, but I gotta say, Commanders are in tough spot with their O-line missing top guys 
. On the other hand, if Washington can get some consistency from Brandon Coleman at left tackle, they might just pull off a surprise 
. This one's gonna be a wild card game, for sure 
! The Eagles have been playing lights out defense all season and I think that'll give them an edge over the Commanders' struggling offense. Plus, with most of their injury concerns on the defensive side, they should be able to keep Washington's points in check 
- can't imagine how tough it must be for Carson Wentz to lead that team against Philly's defense 
. This one could go either way, but I'm leanin' towards the Eagles 
. Losing their top three guys is a huge blow and I'm not sure how Brandon Coleman is gonna fill those massive shoes 
. The Commanders are already struggling to move the ball, so this could be a real test for them 
. Can they even keep up with the Eagles' defense? 
And those Commanders are just gettin stripped of their linemen left and right 
But you know the Eagles defense can step up in times like these. 
The Commanders are gonna try to make a push with all their injured players on the IR list 
. I'm thinking the Eagles might just take it 24-20 
. The Commanders are also dealing with some big losses... 
, and I think it's gonna be an easy win for Philly 
. And on the other side, Washington just can't seem to get anything going with all these injuries 
.
I think Philly's defense is gonna be super tough for DC, especially with Ogbo out. The Commanders need their top OL to function properly, but they're missing two key players right now. Meanwhile, Philly's depth on both sides of the ball looks solid, so I'm predicting a close game 
they've been able to scrape out wins with some pretty sketchy injuries this season, so who knows maybe they'll pull off a surprise
