The Philadelphia Eagles will face the Los Angeles Chargers without their All-Pro linemen Jalen Carter and Lane Johnson. Carter will miss his second game of the season due to shoulder injuries, while Johnson will be absent for the third consecutive game due to a foot injury. The Eagles officially ruled both players out on Saturday.
Head Coach Nick Sirianni expressed confidence in the team's depth, especially in the defensive line group, despite the absence of Carter and Johnson. The defensive tackle rotation will likely see increased roles for players like Moro Ojomo, Jordan Davis, and Byron Young. Rookie third-round pick Ty Robinson may also see an expanded role.
The Eagles have been dealing with injuries to key players throughout the season. However, Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson is set to play on Monday night after resting on Friday. Safety Marcus Epps and tackle Myles Hinton, who are both on Injured Reserve, are questionable for the game against the Chargers.
On the Chargers' side, quarterback Justin Herbert is listed as questionable for the game after undergoing surgery on his left cnon-throwingc hand earlier in the week. Despite limited practice, the Chargers remain optimistic about Herbert's availability for the prime-time clash.
Rookie running back Omarion Hampton is also questionable but has been a full participant in practice after recovering from an ankle fracture. Hampton's potential return could provide a boost to the Chargers' offense, which is coming off a strong rushing performance led by Kimani Vidal.
With an exciting matchup on the horizon, both teams are focused on fielding competitive lineups despite the challenges posed by injuries. The Eagles and Chargers will look to put on a show for fans on Monday night football, showcasing the resilience and depth of their respective rosters.
