Ojulari (hamstring) was not activated from injured reserve Saturday and will not play in Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers, per the NFL transaction log.
Ojulari hasn't played since Week 7, but he logged full practices throughout the week. If the Eagles advance to the divisional round, he seemingly has a good chance to return.

Eagles' Azeez Ojulari: Questionable but still on IR
Rotowire
Ojulari (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers.
Ojulari would need to be activated from injured reserve in order to suit up Sunday, but he has looked promising in practice after having his return window opened Wednesday, as he practiced without limitations Friday. If given clearance to play, Ojulari would likely work in a depth role after being limited to three appearances during the regular season.

Eagles' Marcus Epps: Clears concussion protocol
Rotowire
Epps (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the 49ers.
Epps logged consecutive full practices to end the week and has officially cleared the league's concussion protocol. The free safety has avoided an injury designation just in time to start in Sunday's playoff clash. The 29-year-old is set to reclaim his starting role from fellow safety Sydney Brown, who will likely see fewer defensive snaps in Sunday's contest.

Eagles' Jalen Carter: Cleared for Sunday
Rotowire
Carter (hip) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the 49ers.
Carter was able to upgrade to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited in the previous two sessions. The defensive lineman is set to suit up for Sunday's playoff contest alongside starting nose tackle Jordan Davis and defensive end Moro Ojomo. Jaelan Phillips is also clear of any injury designation, so the Eagles are set to have a full starting defensive line on the field for Sunday's elimination game.

Eagles' Marcus Epps: Logs full practice
Rotowire
Epps (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Epps was limited in practice Wednesday, so while it remains uncertain whether he's yet officially cleared the concussion protocol, he's certainly trending in the right direction in his recovery. The starting safety will look to attain full clearance, including from an independent neurologist, and suit up for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the 49ers.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Practices in full
Rotowire
Dean (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday.
Dean missed two straight games to close out the regular season, but the starting linebacker appears back to full health and ready to return to action for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the 49ers. Across 10 regular-season appearances in 2025, Dean tallied 55 tackles (30 solo), including a career-high 4.0 sacks, plus one pass defensed and two forced fumbles.

Eagles' Jaelan Phillips: Full participant Wednesday
Rotowire
Phillips (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Phillips was able to start the week as a full participant after missing last Sunday's loss to the Commanders due to an ankle injury he likely sustained against the Bills in Week 17. The weakside linebacker's ability to start the week with full participation means he should be all set to suit up for Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers alongside fellow linebackers Zack Baun, Nakobe Dean (hamstring) and Nolan Smith.

Eagles' Marcus Epps: Limited with concussion
Rotowire
Epps (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Epps was unable to play in last Sunday's loss to the Commanders due to a concussion he sustained in last week's practice. The free safety's upgrade to limited practice participation means he is already advancing through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and could be available for Sunday's playoff game against the 49ers. The 29-year-old veteran has two more opportunities to upgrade his practice participation and be cleared of any concussion symptoms by one of the league's independent neurologists.

Eagles' Jalen Carter: Limited with hip
Rotowire
Carter (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Carter missed the Eagles' Week 18 loss to the Commanders due to a hip issue he sustained in practice. The defensive tackle practicing in even a limited capacity is a good sign for his potential availability for Sunday's wild-card clash with the 49ers. The 24-year-old will have two more opportunities to upgrade his practice participation in an attempt to dodge an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest.
Dean (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Dean has missed consecutive weeks due to a hamstring injury, so his ability to get back on the practice field is a great sign for his chances to play in Sunday's wild-card matchup with the 49ers. If the linebacker can suit up, rookie Jihaad Campbell will likely see a reduced number of defensive snaps in Sunday's game.

Eagles' Azeez Ojulari: Returning from IR
Rotowire
The Eagles designated Ojulari (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Ojulari played in just three games this season, totalling 67 defensive snaps for six tackles, including two solo tackles. The weakside linebacker was a healthy scratch to start the season, but with Jaelan Phillips (ankle) questionable for Sunday's wild-card contest against the 49ers, Ojulari is primed to provide perfect depth for the Eagles' defense. The 25-year-old will have three practices to dodge any injury designation and prove he should be activated for Sunday's contest.

Brandon Johnson: Placed on injured list
Rotowire
The Eagles placed Johnson (ankle) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday.
Johnson suffered an ankle issue during Philadelphia's regular-season finale against Washington in Week 18. His placement on the practice squad/injured list rules him out for the remainder of the 2025 campaign. Across three regular-season appearances in 2025, Johnson made three tackles (one solo) and logged one pass defensed.

Eagles' Brandon Johnson: Leaves game with ankle injury
Rotowire
Johnson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Johnson has been limited to special teams work this season but was getting some reps on defense Sunday due to the Eagles resting key starters ahead of the NFC playoffs. Mac McWilliams will see more snaps at the slot for as long as Johnson is out of the game, while Michael Carter moves to safety.

Eagles' Jaelan Phillips: Ruled out with ankle
Rotowire
Phillips (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Phillips was unable to practice all week due to an ankle injury he sustained in last Sunday's win over the Bills. Jihaad Campbell will likely start Sunday's divisional matchup at weakside linebacker in Phillips' absence. With inside linebacker Nakobe Dean (hamstring) also ruled out, the Eagles are set to give Jalyx Hunt, Joshua Uche and/or Brandon Graham more defensive snaps with the linebacker corps in Week 18.

Eagles' Marcus Epps: Ruled out with concussion
Rotowire
Epps (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Epps was a new addition to Friday's injury report with a concussion he likely suffered in Thursday or Friday's practice session. Michael Carter or Sydney Brown will likely start at free safety in Epps' absence. With the starter's concussion occurring so late in the week, the 29-year-old is in danger of missing the Eagles' first playoff game as well, so defensive coordinator Vic Fangio will likely be watching Carter and Brown's Sunday performances closely.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Will miss consecutive weeks
Rotowire
Dean (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Dean was unable to practice throughout Week 18, making it consecutive weeks that the linebacker has been unable to get on the practice field. The 25-year-old will now miss consecutive contests due to a hamstring injury, and it is unclear if he will be able to play in the Eagles' first playoff matchup. With Jaelan Phillips (ankle) also ruled out for Sunday's game, Jalyx Hunt, Brandon Graham and Joshua Uche may see a significant increase in defensive snaps for the Eagles' linebacker corps alongside starters Zack Baun and Nolan Smith.

Eagles' Jalen Carter: Ruled out with hip issue
Rotowire
Carter (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Carter sustained a hip issue in Thursday's practice, and Friday marked consecutive days that the defensive lineman was unable to participate. The team has elected to allow the starter to heal as the playoffs approach, and Ty Robinson is in line to play significant snaps at defensive end opposite Moro Ojomo for the Week 18 divisional matchup.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Remains DNP on Thursday
Rotowire
Dean (hamstring) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice.
Dean was injured in Week 16 and missed last Sunday's win over the Bills. He's in danger of missing a second straight contest ahead of the postseason. Jihaad Campbell, Jeremiah Trotter and Smael Mondon are next up at linebacker for the Eagles.

Eagles' Jaelan Phillips: Misses practice Thursday
Rotowire
Phillips (ankle) did not participate at practice Thursday.
Phillips was officially unavailable for practice after opening the week as a DNP on the team's estimated injury report Wednesday. The linebacker will have one more chance to return to practice prior to Sunday's contest against Washington.

Eagles' Jihaad Campbell: Back at full practice
Rotowire
Campbell (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Campbell was limited Wednesday but appears to be ready for Sunday's regular-season finale versus Washington. The rookier linebacker has compiled 70 tackles (38 solo), two pass breakups, including one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 16 appearances this season.
