Jurgens missed practice today with a concussion. If he were limited, he would have a better chance to play, but this likely means he won’t clear protocol in time to play this week.
We’ve been seeing this all season with Lane, unfortunately. Body has started betraying him, even though the skills and technique are still peaking. Jason Peters reached that point where we accepted he was going to miss a few series or a quarter every week, and a full season was no longer realistic.
Lions against bottom-10 scoring defenses (points allowed) this year: 4-0, 42.8 points per game
Lions against everyone else: 2-3, 22 points per game
Eagles are currently a top-10 (10th) scoring defense.
Obvious that this game will have significant 1-seed implications for both teams, but still useful to see it quantified:
Detroit win gives them a 20% chance to get it, but a loss means they drop to only a 2% chance.
Philly win moves them up to 50% and a loss drops it to 19%.
Good news from today’s estimated injury report: everyone participated and only 4 players were listed as Limited
Bad news is all 4 are from our OLine: Lane Johnson, Cam Jurgens, Landon Dickerson, and Tyler Steen.
Guess it’s good Lane and Cam are limited, vs DNP.
Re: Adoree Jackson, it’s not a coincidence he looked better in GB. They schemed up the D to minimize his (bad) impact. They mostly played Mitchell in man on his side, and then cover 2 zone on Jackson’s side so he always had safety help.
DET will likely adjust to that after seeing that tape...
The Eagles starting the season 7-2 or better for 4th straight year is tied for 3rd longest streak ever in the SB era, behind:
Patriots 7 (2013-19)
Dolphins 5 (1971-75)
Colts 5 (1964-68)
Not by rule or anything, but BAL could feel compelled to do the right thing and send it back on their own. We did that with NO after trading them Dorenbos and he immediately retired due to the heart condition no one knew about.
Every Packers WR is on the final injury report and they just lost their TE1 for the year. Add in a bunch of other dinged up players, including Parsons, and the Eagles coming fresh off a bye could be a huge advantage.
Good injury report coming out of the bye: AJ, Saquon, and Nolan Smith were full participants in practice.
Only concern is Jurgens. He was the only DNP, so likely more of Toth at C on Monday night.
Moro Ojomo in 8 games this season (208 pass rush snaps) has 4 sacks and 6 QB hits. In 17 games last season (418 pass rush snaps) Milton Williams finished with 5 sacks and 10 QB hits.
Ojomo also has more pressures, sacks, QB hits, & hurries than Quinnen Williams in 2025.
The salary is definitely a bargain but the 3rd rounder, even a late one, is still a pretty big asset. That MIA was willing to essentially pay $6M for it speaks to that. Phillips' injury history also played a part in MIA having to take on the salary risk, too, if they wanted a 3rd.
Howie's only...
2 key things about the trade:
Miami is taking on $6.6M of his salary, Eagles take the remaining $500k
The 3rd round pick is our own, which will be pretty late in the round; Eagles are keeping the 3rd rounder they got from the Jets, which will be earlier in the round.
