As the Philadelphia Eagles (8-4) gear up for a Monday night showdown against the equally matched Los Angeles Chargers (8-4) on December 8, 2025, the team enters the primetime contest with a lengthy injury list that could influence key rotations on both sides of the ball. Kickoff at SoFi Stadium is set for 8:15 p.m. ET, and with playoff seeding tightening, every personnel update matters.
Key players ruled out
Philadelphia will be without three significant contributors, all officially ruled out ahead of Monday night. Offensive tackle Myles Hinton remains sidelined with a back injury, despite being a full participant in practice. Veteran lineman Lane Johnson, dealing with a foot issue, did not practice throughout the week and will also sit out as he continues recovering.
On the defensive line, standout tackle Jalen Carter has been ruled out after missing practice with a shoulder injury. Through the 2025 season, Carter has delivered strong production, including 2.0 sacks, 4.0 tackles for loss, and 32 total tackles, making his absence a notable blow to Philadelphia’s interior pressure.
Questionable and active contributors
The lone player carrying a questionable designation is safety Marcus Epps, who is working through a shoulder issue. He logged full participation in practice, giving Philadelphia Eagles hope he may still be available depending on pre-game evaluations.
Several other names appear on the report but are trending toward availability. Wide receiver Xavier Gipson practiced fully despite a shoulder concern, maintaining his trajectory to contribute on offense and special teams. Guard Landon Dickerson returned under a rest designation and is expected to play without limitations.
On defense, Jaelan Phillips has cleared concussion protocol and practiced fully. His presence adds much-needed stability to the pass rush after recording 4.0 sacks and 40 tackles so far this season.
Additional notes ahead of Monday night
Philadelphia also lists receiver Jahan Dotson (toe) and linebacker Zack Baun (hand), both of whom practiced fully throughout the week. Dotson continues to add depth to the receiving corps with 11 appearances this season, while Baun’s consistent production — including 96 tackles and 6 passes defended — remains pivotal to Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive scheme.
