The Philadelphia Eagles listed three players on their initial injury report ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens listed seven players on their initial injury report.
Here's the Eagles-Ravens injury report, with analysis...
| Player | Injury | Wed | Thurs | Fri | Status |
| WR DeVonta Smith | Hamstring | DNP | |||
| CB Darius Slay | Concussion | DNP | |||
| CB Kelee Ringo | Calf | DNP |
Wednesday notes:
• Smith did not play Week 12, but it didn't matter as Saquon Barkley ran all over the Rams. The Ravens are allowing 277.7 passing yards per game, second-worst in the NFL, so this is a game that the Eagles really need Smith to help exploit a Baltimore defensive weakness.
• Slay suffered a concussion Week 12 against the Rams. He was replaced in the lineup by Isaiah Rodgers, who gave up a few completions, but also made one of the plays of the night when he forced a red zone fumble that was recovered by the Eagles.
• Ringo did not play at all on defense Week 12 despite some garbage time opportunities late in the game. He likely got hurt earlier in the game.
• Not shown above are Saquon Barkley, Mekhi Becton, London Dickerson, Lane Johnson, Cam Jurgens, Jordan Mailata, and Josh Sweat, who were all limited with "rest" days.
Other notable players on IR, PUP, suspension, etc.
• EDGE Brandon Graham (IR): Graham tore his left triceps in the Eagles' win over the Rams. Before the season, Graham said that the 2024 season, his 15th in the NFL, would be his last. He played very well, and was arguably the team's best edge defender. If indeed his season is over, Graham will have finished with 20 tackles and 3.5 sacks, with his stats not truly showing his actual impact, as has been the case throughout his career.
• S James Bradberry (IR): The Eagles kept Bradberry on their active roster for no good reason at 53-man cutdowns, and then the next day he suffered a "lower body" injury that was originally supposed to keep him out 6-8 weeks.

| LB Roquan Smith | Hamstring | Limited | |||

Wednesday notes:
• The Ravens held a walkthrough, so this is just an estimation.
• Roquan Smith is the Ravens' first-team All-Pro linebacker. On the season he has 110 tackles. He did not play Week 12 against the Chargers, but his projected ability to practice on Wednesday in a step in the direction of being able to play again, I guess? He did not practice at all last week.
• Van Noy is in his 12th season. He co-leads the Ravens with 8 sacks.
• Kolar has 9 catches for 131 yards and a TD this season. He has a broken arm and is out. He'll likely go on IR later in the week.
• Maulet is a journeyman slot corner. Backup.
Other notable players on IR, PUP, suspension, etc.
• DT Michael Pierce: Rotational DT. 15 tackles, 1 sack this season. He had his 21-day practice window opened on Wednesday.
• RS Deonte Harty: Ultra-small (5'6, 170) return specialist.
