DeVonta Smith, Zack Baun Among Philadelphia Eagles Players Ruled Out vs. Los Angeles Rams

DeVonta Smith’s hamstring injury could force Philadelphia to lean on Dontayvion Wicks, who has 179 yards and a touchdown through three games.

  • On Friday, the Philadelphia Eagles ruled out wide receiver DeVonta Smith and linebacker Zack Baun for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams after both missed practice all week.
  • Smith continues dealing with a lingering hamstring injury, while Baun remains in the NFL's concussion protocol following Monday's loss to the Bears on a short week.
  • Coach Nick Sirianni expressed confidence in the team's depth, with Jeremiah Trotter Jr. expected to start for Baun and Dontayvion Wicks assuming the top wide receiver role.
  • Tight end Dallas Goedert, safety Marcus Epps, and offensive tackle Fred Johnson are also ruled out, compounding the Eagles' roster challenges heading into Sunday's matchup.
  • The 2-1 Eagles face the 1-2 Rams on Sunday seeking to rebound, though multiple key absences will test their depth against Los Angeles's explosive offense.
