The Eagles released their inactives against the Panthers. The biggest news is that Mychal Kendricks does not appear on the list, so he will play. Here is the full list of Eagles and Panthers inactives:

Eagles inactives

• ILB Kiko Alonso: Alonso will miss his fifth game, however, the Eagles have gotten fantastic play out of rookie ILB Jordan Hicks in Alonso's absence. 

• WR Nelson Agholor: This will be the second game that Agholor will miss as a pro. Josh Huff started in his absence when Agholor sat out against the Giants a week ago.

ILB DeMeco Ryans: Kendricks comes back, and DeMeco goes out. Mufasa will have to lead from the sidelines tonight.

 DE Brandon Bair: Bair has played well in a reserve role for the Eagles, but he will sit in favor of Taylor Hart.

• OL Tanner Hawkinson: Hawkinson signed with the team a week. He'll likely play guard for the Eagles, but is not ready yet.

• CB Denzel Rice: Developmental corner.

• QB Thad Lewis: Lewis will be here all season until Sam Bradford gets hurt.

Panthers inactives

The Panthers' inactives are DB Dean Marlowe, RB Brandon Wegher, LB Shaq Thompson, OT Daryl Williams, TE Scott Simonson, WR Kevin Norwood, DT Dwan Edwards.

The two players of note are Edwards, who is part of Carolina's defensive line rotation at DT, and Thompson, who was Carolina's first round draft pick this offseason.
