One thing has become very clear with the Philadelphia Eagles after just four weeks into the 2026 season: they are banged up—big time.

It got to the point where the Eagles didn't have nine starters on the field by the end of the 24-20 Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The Eagles already had seven players ruled out before the game, and four more got hurt during it.

Eagles fans are trying to track every injury heading into the Week 5 London game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Here's a look at all the injuries the Eagles are dealing with right now and when they could return.

Every important Eagles player injury/concern entering Week 5 Jaguars game

Landon Dickerson, LG (knee)

Dickerson is currently on IR after his knee injury from training camp flared up in the Eagles' Week 1 win over the Washington Commanders. He still has at least one more game he will miss before he is eligible to return, but that might even be a stretch for him to come back, so expect him to be out longer than that.

Zack Baun, LB (Concussion)

With the short week, Baun couldn't practice or clear the concussion protocol quickly enough to play in the Rams game. The hope is that he can get cleared this week and return for the Jaguars game.

DeVonta Smith, WR (Hamstring)

Smith missed his first game of the year after not practicing last week due to a hamstring injury. Reports suggest this could be a multi-week injury, so don't expect him back for the Jaguars game. He could be back in Week 6 or 7.

Fred Johnson, OT (Knee)

Johnson has been dealing with a knee injury and missed the Rams game. His status is unknown, but with new concerns about Lane Johnson, it would be good to see him back on the field soon.

Hollywood Brown, WR (ankle)

Brown missed a second straight game with the ankle injury that has prevented him from practicing and playing. It's a bit of a mystery how long he'll be out, but since he's not on IR, the hope is that he can return in Week 5 or 6.

Marcus Epps, S (groin)

Epps was a last-second injury that popped up on the report, and he didn't play in the Rams game. Eagles fans will have to wait and see what his status is for Week 5, with an update in the next few days.

Dallas Goedert, TE (knee)

Goedert missed his second game of the season against the Rams and hasn't practiced over the last two weeks. He was expected to miss three to four weeks with the injury. It may be too soon for him to return against the Jaguars, but he's probably a game or two away

Saquon Barkley, RB (hamstring)

This is Barkley's second injury this season, after he suffered a stinger in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. He couldn't return against the Rams, though he hoped he could fight through it; a hamstring injury is not something to mess with.

Quinyon Mitchell, CB (knee)

Mitchell got hurt in the second half with a knee injury and didn't return, with Jonathan Jones replacing him. The Eagles could really use him, as he's arguably the best defender in the league, but fans will have to wait a few days to see what's going on.

Jonathan Greenard, EDGE (ankle)

Greenard is injury once again after leaving the game in the second half with an ankle injury. This is his second injury of the year after missing all of training camp and the first two games with a pectoral injury. There is no timetable for him to return at the moment.

Tank Bigsby, RB (knee)

Bigsby went down with a knee injury in the fourth quarter and didn't return. The hope is that he can come back for the Jaguars game, but his status for the game is not known. He has been dealing with being banged up over the last couple of weeks.

Lane Johnson, OT (personal)

Johnson was ruled out of the game last-second after missing the game due to a personal reason. He missed time during training camp due to a personal issue as well, which leaves his status completely up in the air with all kinds of retirement rumors flying around. Eagles fans will have to see if he travels with the team to London.
