Nick Sirianni's locker room speech after Week 17 win over Washington Hear what Coach Sirianni had to say in the locker room following the victory over Washington!
Dallas Goedert - Tests positive for virus Goedert is one of roughly 12 Eagles players who tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Assuming the Eagles are able to verify his positive test result, Goedert is expected to go on the reserve/COVID-19 list before the team resumes practicing Tuesday ahead of Saturday's regular-season finale against the Cowboys. Due to the NFL's updated COVID-19 return-to-play protocols that allowing players who test positive to rejoin their teams in shorter periods of time, Goedert could still have a chance to suit up Saturday. The tight end has taken on a heightened role in the Philadelphia passing attack over the team's past four games, generating a 21-339-2 receiving line on 26 targets.

It's OK to enjoy the Eagles' present. We can worry about their future later. The 20-16 victory helped vault the Eagles into the playoffs. This season has been a pleasant surprise. So savor it.

Brandon Brooks - Unlikely for Week 18 Brooks (pectoral) is unlikely to return for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Cowboys, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact Brooks has been sidelined since injuring his pectoral in Week 2. The original timetable for his return was eight weeks, which has long been exceeded. His next opportunity to make a return will come during the wild-card round.

DeVonta Smith - Three catches in win Smith caught three of his six targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over Washington.
Impact Smith's first catch of the day accounted for most of his yards as he caught Jalen Hurts' first pass attempt of the game for a 30-yard pickup. The rookie was pretty quiet after that but was still able to lead all Philadelphia receivers in receiving yards once again, trailing only Dallas Goedert (71 yards) among all pass-catchers. Smith has a nice matchup on tap against the Cowboys in Week 18, but his playing time may be affected with both teams having clinched the playoffs already.

Davion Taylor - Won't return this season Taylor (knee) won't be activated from injured reserve for the final week of the regular season or the playoffs, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact Taylor landed on the shelf in late November after undergoing knee surgery and was believed to have a chance of retaking the field this season, but he won't end up returning for the Eagles. The 2020 third-round pick finishes the campaign with 41 tackles (24 solo) and two forced fumbles in nine games, and he should have enough recovery time to be ready for training camp.

Miles Sanders - Headed for Week 18 absence Head coach Nick Sirianni said Sanders (hand) isn't expected to play Saturday against the Cowboys, though the Eagles are hopeful the running back will be ready to go for the wild-ca...
Impact While they were without their top back Week 17, the Eagles were still able to punch their ticket to the postseason with a 20-16 win over Washington plus some help from other teams. In place of Sanders, the Eagles turned to Boston Scott (14 carries for 47 yards and two touchdowns) as their lead option on the ground, though Jordan Howard (11 carries for 26 yards) saw a steady amount of involvement, too. With little at stake for the Eagles in Week 18, Sanders looks like he'll have another opportunity to let his fractured hand heal, but he should have a decent chance at being ready to go for the start of the postseason.

Kenneth Gainwell - Just one touch in win Gainwell took his lone carry for four yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Football Team.
Impact Gainwell played just eight snaps on offense, even with Miles Sanders out due to a broken hand. It marks the third-straight game for the rookie of under 10 offensive snaps played.

Jordan Howard - Stuck in backup role Howard rushed the ball 11 times for 26 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over Washington.
Impact Howard was limited in practice throughout the week due to a stinger, and that injury may have limited his volume and efficiency against Washington. He saw only three fewer carries than Boston Scott in the absence of Miles Sanders (hand), but he gave way in goal-line situations to Scott, who found the end zone twice. As usual, Howard was not involved in the passing attack, registering an abysmal stat line as the result. That could turn around in a Week 18 matchup against Dallas if Howard returns to health and Sanders remains sidelined.
