These Eagles will be without two key players in the trenches as defensive tackle Jalen Carter (shoulders) and right tackle Lane Johnson (foot) are both inactive.
Here is the Eagles’ full list of inactives for Monday Night Football against the Chargers:
QB Sam Howell (3rd QB) | 14
Safety Marcus Epps, who the Eagles activated from Injured Reserve earlier in the day, returns to action after missing the last four games. Sydney Brown got the start next to Reed Blankenship last week, but Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio said Epps will be a candidate to start against the Chargers. The Eagles also elevated safety Andre’ Sam from the practice squad for the second straight week.
Fourth-round rookie Ty Robinson, who has been a healthy scratch the past four games, is active with Carter sidelined. Robinson played a career-high 19 snaps in Week 6 against the Giants when Carter was inactive.
With Lane Johnson not playing, Fred Johnson will get the start at right tackle. Fred Johnson has started the past three games at right tackle for Philadelphia.
Joshua Uche is inactive for the second consecutive week after playing in each of the first 11 games this season.
