How's everyone feeling? Yeah... We feel it too. While we subscribe to the ' one week at a time' approach, we are also long time Philadelphia Eagles fans.
That said, we are allowed to enjoy wins for slightly longer spells than the Birds can. We have to admit. We feel much better than we did heading into the bye week.
Philly has rattled off six straight wins including two recent over the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders. There isn't any time for the team to celebrate. It's time to move on from one win and concentrate on securing another. The L.A. Rams are scrappy. This one is on Sunday Night Football.
Here's what we know so far about the walking wounded.

Eagles Week 12 injuries: Philly opens Britain Covey's 21-day window.
Good news cometh on Wednesday! Britain Covey's practice window has been opened. He's currently on the Eagles' injured reserve.
Philadelphia has 21 days to determine if they will elevate him back to the active 53-man roster. If they don't, he returns to the IR and will remain there until the end of the regular season.
His return will give the Birds another good returner on special teams along with Cooper DeJean. Britain is also developing into a decent wide receiver.

More injury updates and roster news: Bryce Huff will undergo surgery.
It sounds like the issues with Bryce Huff's wrist were more serious than we thought. Head coach Nick Sirianni spoke with the media on Wednesday and informed everyone that Bryce will undergo surgery to correct the issue.
Sirianni, however, seems optimistic.
"We feel good about the depth that we have here and some of the young guys. Nolan's (Smith) done a really good job and Jalyx (Hunt), we'll see where he's is as we continue on here. Jalyx keeps getting better as a football player...
(Josh) Sweat's had some really good games and (has) been playing at a top-notch level. B.G. (Brandon Graham) is continuing to be steady throughout like he has his entire career."
Bryce was acquired during the free-agency frenzy back in March. He has logged ten tackles, 2.5 sacks, and a forced fumble this season.
In other roster news, Philly announced defensive tackle Siaki Ika was signed to the practice squad. To make room, wide receiver Kyle Philips was released from the scout team.
The Eagles released their first injury report of Week 12 on Wednesday.

DeVonta Smith's continuing hamstring issue might be something to monitor, but as far as midweek injuries go, those are the major discussion points for now. We'll see how things go on Thursday.
