The Philadelphia Eagles are looking healthy as they gear up for their Week 18 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Several key players will get a well-deserved rest, giving them time to recover and recharge before the playoffs.
Injured wide receiver Dallas Goedert is listed as out with a knee injury, while linebacker Nakobe Dean and edge rusher Jaelan Phillips are also out due to hamstring and ankle issues, respectively. However, linebacker Jihaad Campbell will be limited in practice after dealing with back and shoulder injuries.
The Eagles have been smart about their injury management this season, which has paid off as they've maintained a strong team health. Meanwhile, the Commanders' season is all but over, and many of their injured players are out for the year.
For the Commanders, quarterback Marcus Mariota's season is likely done due to a right hand and quad injury, while left tackle Laremy Tunsil is also unlikely to play due to an oblique injury. The team has been using Jeff Driskel and Sam Hartman at quarterback in his absence, but it's unclear if either player will be able to step up and lead the team.
In terms of notable players on IR or PUP, the Commanders have several players dealing with various injuries, including linebacker Bobby Wagner and tight end Zach Ertz. Both players suffered significant injuries this season and are unlikely to return in time for the playoffs.
The Eagles' injury report is more optimistic, with few players listed as out due to injury. Quarterback Jalen Hurts will likely get a well-deserved rest before the playoffs, while wide receiver DeVonta Smith may be considered for a starting role against the Commanders.
As the two teams prepare for their Week 18 matchup, it's clear that both the Eagles and Commanders are looking to get healthy in time for the playoffs. The question is whether they'll be able to overcome their injuries and make a deep run in the postseason.

! The Eagles have been doing such a great job with their injury management, it's crazy how many key players they still have on the field 
. And the Commanders are just...meh 
. Like, can't they just get one of those QBs to step up already?! 
. But seriously, I'm low-key rooting for the Eagles because they look like they're gonna make a deep run 
. The only thing that's got me worried is if DeVonta Smith gets enough rest before the game...he's been having an amazing season! 
. The Commanders, on the other hand, are kinda done for the year 
. Their injuries just keep piling up, and it's hard to see them makin' a deep run in the playoffs. I mean, Marcus Mariota's season is basically over, and Laremy Tunsil's oblique injury is lookin' like it could keep him out for a while 
. The Eagles, they're just takin' it one game at a time, which is great to see 
. They've got the talent and the depth to make a deep run if they can stay healthy. Fingers crossed for 'em!
! Eagles are lookin like they're gonna come out on top, especially with Hurts gettin some rest. They've been doin a great job of takin care of those injuries, it's payin off big time 
. Meanwhile the Commanders are just kinda... fading away 
. I'm thinkin they won't make it past the first round, sad but true 
been watching the NFL for years now, and it's crazy how injuries can affect teams in different ways. I think the Eagles have done a good job of managing their players' health, but you never know what's gonna happen on game day 
. Those Commanders are a mess right now, with so many guys out it's hard to imagine them making a deep run in the playoffs 
. The Eagles have some tough decisions ahead, like who's gonna step up for Hurts and if Smith can shake off his own injuries. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out 
dallas goedert cant even play lol what if DeVonta Smith gets his act together now? 
eagles on the other hand got some injuries to deal with too 
Nakobe Dean and Jaelan Phillips are out for what feels like forever 
i dont know if jeff driskel or sam hartman can lead their team to a win tho 
their season is basically over already lol the eagles on the other hand are looking super healthy which is awesome for them 
. As for the Commanders, it's time to start thinking about next season
