Philadelphia will be without several prominent starters for its Week 5 London matchup against Jacksonville, with wide receivers Hollywood Brown and DeVonta Smith and running back Saquon Barkley listed among the Eagles’ inactives.
The Eagles also ruled out safety Marcus Epps, outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard and center Drew Kendall. Philadelphia’s inactive list removes major pieces from its offensive skill group while also thinning the club’s depth in the secondary, at edge rusher and along the offensive line.
Jacksonville enters the international game with seven players inactive. The Jaguars will be without wide receiver CJ Williams, cornerbacks Alijah Huzzie and Jaylon Jones, safety Eric Murray, guard Daniel Faalele, defensive end Wesley Williams and defensive tackle Albert Regis.
The Jaguars’ absences affect all three levels of the defense, with two defensive backs and two defensive linemen unavailable, while Faalele’s designation takes away an offensive line option. Jacksonville also will not have Williams in its receiver rotation.
The Eagles-Jaguars contest is the London game on Sunday’s Week 5 slate.
