DeVonta Smith is still recovering from his hamstring injury.

The Philadelphia Eagles have played banged-up teams all season so far, but in Week 5 in London they'll face the very healthy Jacksonville Jaguars. Of course, the Eagles have a lot of injuries, plus Lane Johnson retired, plus they traded Cam Jurgens to the Ravens. There will be a bunch of fresh faces on the field.

The Eagles listed 11 players on their initial Wednesday injury report.

Here's the Eagles-Jaguars injury report, with analysis.

Wednesday notes:

• DeVonta Smith still isn't practicing yet after missing the Week 4 game against the Rams.

• Saquon Barkley likely won't practice all week, or play against the Jaguars.

• After returning from a pectoral injury, Jonathan Greenard is right back on the injury report with an injured ankle.

• Drew Kendall didn't practice, but he played every snap against the Rams.

• Dallas Goedert was back at practice for the first time since suffering an MCL sprain Week 2 against the Titans.

• Zack Baun was also back at practice after missing Week 4 with a concussion.

• Quinyon Mitchell was hurt against the Rams, left the game, and did not return. His limited status is encouraging.

Thursday notes:

• Dontayvion Wicks got added to the list with a hamstring injury and a limited practice designation. The Eagles' receiving depth would be in even deeper trouble if he can't play Sunday in London.

Friday notes:

• DeVonta, Saquon, Epps, and Brown remain out.

• The latest starter to miss a game is Kendall. He won't play on Sunday. Here's my guess on the Eagles' offensive line on Sunday:

LT Jordan Mailata
LG Willie Lampkin
C Jake Majors
RG Tyler Steen
RT Markel Bell

Yikes. Lampkin, Majors, and Bell have a combined one NFL start.

• Oh and Jalen Hurts popped up on the report with a calf injury. (He'll play.)

Notable players on IR, PUP, suspension, etc.

• LG Landon Dickerson (IR, eligible to return after Week 5): Dickerson had his worst game as a pro in the Eagles' Week 1 win over the Commanders, and was quickly thereafter placed on injured reserve. Drew Kendall filled in at C, and Cam Jurgens moved over to LG. Kendall has been OK so far, Jurgens has not, and he was traded to Baltimore.

• RB Tank Bigsby (IR, eligible to return after Week 8): Bigsby suffered an injury Week 4 against the Rams that required core muscle surgery. He will likely return this season, but is likely to miss roughly up to two months.

• TE Eli Stowers (IR, eligible to return at any time): The Eagles selected Stowers in the second round of the 2026 draft because of his athletic traits, but he did not have a good rookie training camp, and is not yet ready to play. He was listed as questionable on the Eagles' injury report with a hamstring injury heading into Week 1, but was moved to IR. He is now eligible to come off of IR, but has not yet.
