Eagles Keep Same Seven Inactives Vs. Rams
PHILADELPHIA – There were no surprises regarding the inactives for Sunday’s Divisional Round playoff game between the Eagles and the Los Angeles Rams.
The Eagles’ inactives were identical to those from last Sunday’s Wild Card win over Green Bay. Quarterback Tanner McKee will serve as the emergency quarterback behind starters Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett.
The players not dressing are offensive linemen Nick Gates, Darian Kinnard, and Trevor Keegan, wide receiver Ainias Smith, and defensive backs Eli Ricks and Lewis Cine.
Philadelphia did elevate two players from the practice squad on Saturday who will be available for head coach Nick Sirianni: fullback Khari Blasingame and linebacker Nick Morrow.
Morrow, who started 12 games for the Eagles last season, was just brought back to the organization earlier this week after spending most of the 2024 campaign with Buffalo. He will help bolster the depth at linebacker after the Eagles lost Nakobe Dean to a torn patellar tendon against the Packers.
For the Rams, the notable inactives include safety John Johnson III and offensive lineman Joe Noteboom. Inactives for Los Angeles also include emergency quarterback Stetson Bennett, wide receiver Tyler Johnson, outside linebacker Brennan Jackson, offensive lineman Justin Dedich, and offensive lineman AJ Arcuri.
The winner of Sunday’s game will advance to the NFC Championship Game to host Washington, which is fresh off an upset of the top-seeded Detroit on Saturday night.
