Following their "mini bye" after a Thursday night matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Philadelphia Eagles should be well rested for their Week 7 matchup in Las Vegas against the Raiders.
Here is the final Friday Eagles-Raiders injury report, with analysis.
• S Anthony Harris (hands/groin): Ah, the old "hands/groin" combo injury. If Harris can't go, Marcus Epps would likely start. It's also worth noting that the 21-day practice window was activated for K'Von Wallace to come off of IR.
UPDATE: Harris has since been ruled out. The Eagles promoted Elijah Riley from the practice squad.
• OL Jack Anderson (hamstring): Anderson would likely be a healthy scratch even without the hammy issue.
• DE Brandon Graham (IR): Graham's season is over with a ruptured Achilles. On the field, Graham was arguably the Eagles' best defensive player in 2020. It's clear since his loss that the Eagles miss his contributions as a pass rusher and run stopper, and the Eagles have not been able to adequately replace him. Off the field, Graham has unlimited energy and positivity, and he is a player that you just want to have around if you're a head coach in the NFL.
• RG Brandon Brooks (IR): Brooks suffered a pectoral injury against the 49ers. It's "only" a pec strain, as opposed to a tear, so while he'll likely miss time (about 8 weeks, per Lane Johnson) on injured reserve, it's not a season-ending injury.
• LG Isaac Seumalo (IR): Seumalo was carted off the field in the Eagles' loss to the Cowboys. His season is over after having surgery for a Lisfranc injury.
• S K'Von Wallace (IR): Wallace separated his shoulder while trying to tackle Ezekiel Elliott in the first quarter against the Cowboys Week 3. The Eagles activated Wallace's 21-day practice window earlier this week.
• TE Tyree Jackson (IR): Jackson suffered a broken bone in his back during joint practices with the New England Patriots. The Eagles activated Jackson's 21-day practice window earlier this week, though Nick Sirianni said on Friday that Jackson won't play Sunday in Vegas.
• OG Sua Opeta (COVID): Opeta has been on the COVID list for a few weeks now.
• TE Nick Bowers: Back of the roster guy.
UPDATE: TE Darren Waller, arguably the Raiders' best player, is a late addition to the Raiders' injury report, and is listed as questionable. He is reportedly a game-time decision.

> Schefter report: injured "inner ankle and heel" during Friday's practice
> LV downgraded after Saturday eval, isn't "feeling great"
> Suggests injury more concerning than minor low ankle sprain
> If active, likely limited snaps & high-leverage targets only
• LG Richie Incognito (IR): Incognito missed the first couple of games while still recovering from a torn Achilles suffered during the 2020 season. He returned Week 3, but promptly injured his calf, and landed on IR. John Simpson has started at LG in relief of Incognito.
• RG Denzelle Good (IR): Good was the Raiders' Week 1 starter at RG. Alex Leatherwood has since slid inside from RT to RG, and Brandon Parker has filled in at RT.
• CB Trayvon Mullen (IR): Mullen was a second-round pick of the Raiders in 2019. He has played in 36 games, starting 30, and was a starter for the 2021 Raiders. Good career ball production — 28 PBUs and 4 INTs. The Eagles have played teams all season long who were missing starting corners.
• LB Nicholas Morrow (IR): Morrow filled up the stat sheet in 2020, collecting 78 tackles, 3 sacks, 6 QB hits, 9 pass breakups, a forced fumble, and an INT. He injured his foot before the start of the season, and has not yet played in 2021.
• CB Damon Arnette (IR): Arnette was a first-round pick of the Raiders in 2020. He played in 9 games as a rookie, starting seven. In 2021, he has played in 4 games, but is not a starter. 3 career pass breakups, 0 INTs. Disappointing start to his NFL career.
• DT Gerald McCoy (Suspended): McCoy got popped for PEDs.
