The Philadelphia Eagles (8-2) are set to play the Los Angeles Rams (5-5) on Sunday night. The Week 12 matchup will feature an Eagles team inching closer to securing the NFC East title. The Rams are in a three-way tie with the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks for second place in the NFC West.
The Eagles had several key players battling injury this week. Bryce Huff has been dealing with a wrist injury since Philadelphia’s 28-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Nov. 3.
Per the Eagles website, Huff was placed on injured reserve Friday
“Huff was scheduled to undergo a wrist procedure on Thursday that will hopefully allow him to return before the end of the season. He will miss at least the next four games, starting with Sunday night’s prime-time showdown in Los Angeles.”
Sirianni praised Huff for battling through the injury.
“He’s really done a good job of batting through, but this will hopefully help him get some more function in that hand,” Sirianni said.
Huff has recorded 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble in 2024. He’s made five starts and appeared in 10 games.
The Eagles had more awful news before Sunday’s contest. Per the Week 12 injury report released on Friday, the Eagles have ruled out wide receiver DeVonta Smith due to a hamstring issue. The star receiver has battled the injury for a few weeks, but will not make it Sunday night.
Smith is the Eagles second-leading receiver with 41 receptions for 516 yards and four touchdowns in 2024.
