The Philadelphia Eagles have been a relatively healthy team for the better part of this season, but they have begun accumulating a bunch notable injuries over the last few weeks, and their injured reserve list is filling up. Their Week 12 opponent, the Green Bay Packers, have a pair of starting defenders on injured reserve, including their best pass rusher, and they listed 15 players on their initial injury report.
Here are the Eagles' and Packers' inactives, with analysis.
• QB Ian Book: No. 3 quarterback.
• RB Trey Sermon: No. 4 running back.
• OG Sua Opeta: Jack Driscoll will likely be the backup at both guard spots.
• OL Josh Sills: No. 10 offensive lineman.
• CB Josh Jobe: Jobe ishealthy once again, but remains inactive on gameday.
• TE Dallas Goedert (IR - Week 11): Goedert has 43 receptions for 533 yards and 3 TDs, and has been one of the most efficient pass catchers in the NFL the last two seasons, in addition to his above average blocking skills. He is a top five type of tight end with no obvious flaws in his game who rarely comes off the field. The Eagles missed Goedert against the Colts, as there was a pretty obvious dropoff from him to the trio of Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra, and Tyree Jackson.
• DT Jordan Davis (IR - Week 9): Davis was carted off with an ankle injury suffered against the Steelers Week 8. He doesn't have eye-popping stats to start the season (14 tackles, 1 batted pass in 7 games), but he has been effective clogging up holes in the run game, playing almost solely in odd-man fronts as a nose tackle through the first six games of the season.
• CB Avonte Maddox (IR - Week 10): Maddox is the Eagles' starting slot corner. He was replaced in the lineup by Josiah Scott, who the Commanders and Colts successfully attacked with their best receivers the last two weeks.
• DE Derek Barnett (IR - Week 2): Barnett tore his ACL Week 1 against the Lions, and his season is over. After a 2021 season in which he had 8 penalties vs. 2.5 sacks, Barnett lost his starting job, but remained a depth player poised to get his share of snaps in 2022.
• DT Marlon Tuipulotu (IR - Week 11): Tuipulotu has 16 tackles, a sack, and a fumble recovery in a rotational role this season.
The Packers have two injured inactives:
• WR Romeo Doubs: Doubs is a rookie receiver who became a starter Week 3. He has 31 catches on 50 targets for 314 yards and 3 TDs this season.
• LB De'Vondre Campbell: Campbell was a first-team All-Pro in 2021 for Green Bay, when he had 146 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 2 INTs, and 5 pass breakups. In 8 games in 2022, he has 64 tackles, 2 pass breakups, and a 63-yard pick-six.

• DL Rashan Gary (IR - Week 10): Gary is probably the Packers' best pass rusher. He led the team with 9.5 sacks in 2021, and he remains the Packers' sack leader in 2022 with 6, despite having torn his ACL in a loss to the Lions Week 9.
• CB Eric Stokes (IR - Week 10): Stokes was a first-round pick in 2021 who played in 16 games as a rookie, starting 14. He started the first nine games of this season before suffering a knee injury against the Lions and landing on IR.
