The Eagles have had an up and down week as far as injuries go, welcoming back Darius Slay and DeVonta Smith, and Jalen Hurts going from a limited participant to no injury designation, but they will definitely be without A.J. Brown, and Reed Blankenship will be a game time decision. Losing Brown is obviously a huge blow to the Eagles offense, but Quez Watkins stepped up in Week 18, and they’ll need him to do so again against the Bucs.
