Raiders QB Geno Smith likely won't play against the Eagles on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles lost their third straight game on Monday night to the Chargers, but at least they escaped L.A. without any new significant injuries. Their Week 15 opponent, the Las Vegas Raiders, are expected to be without starting quarterback Geno Smith.

Here's the Eagles-Raiders injury report, with analysis.

051020EaglesLogo2020
Player Injury Wed* ThursFri Status 
RT Lane Johnson Foot DNP
iDL Jalen Carter Shoulders DNP
LG Landon DickersonCalfLimited
LB Zack Baun Hand Full    
LS Charley Hughlett Abdomen Full    


Wednesday notes (Walkthrough, estimation only):

• There is some optimism that Lane will play in this game, but his DNP is not a great start to the week.

• Carter was considered "week-to-week" after the procedure on his shoulders. He could miss another game. We'll see.

• Dickerson left Monday night's game with his calf injury, but returned to the field later.

Notable players on IR, PUP, suspension, etc.

S Andrew Mukuba (IR, eligible to come off of IR after Week 16): Mukuba has had an up and down rookie season, but was beginning to earn the trust of defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. On the season, Mukuba has 46 tackles and 2 INTs. 

WR Johnny Wilson (IR, knee/ankle, out for the season): Wilson is a massive receiver at 6'6, 228 who carved out a dirty work role as a physical blocker his rookie season in 2024, though sometimes he was a little too aggressive, as he committed four penalties (3 holding, 1 OPI). He wasn't much of a threat as a receiver, catching only 5 passes for 38 yards and a TD. He played a little over 400 snaps, and actually started four games.

EDGE Ogbo Okoronkwo (IR, triceps, eligible to come off of IR at any time, season could be over): Okoronkwo was signed to provide edge depth. He played in just one game (4 snaps) before tearing his triceps.

EDGE Azeez Ojulari (IR, triceps, eligible to come off of IR at any time): Ojulari was the presumed third EDGE defender in the pecking order when he signed with the Eagles as a free agent, but he is now no better than the EDGE7.

FB Ben VanSumeren (IR, knee, out for the season): VanSumeren was poised to take on a bigger role in the Eagles' offense in 2025 as a full-time fullback, but he tore his patellar tendon on the opening kickoff of the season. His season is over.

LS Charley Hughlett (IR, Eagles opened up 21-day practice window on 12/10): Hughlett throws the ball through his legs. The Eagles signed Cal Adomitis to throw the ball through his legs in place of Hughlett, but he was released on Tuesday, and Hughlett's 21-day practice window was opened on Wednesday.

iOL Willie Lampkin (IR, season over): Lampkin is an extreme oddity, in that he is a 5'11 offensive lineman who only weighs 290 pounds. He looks like a player you'd create in Madden just for fun. However, coming out of North Carolina he received glowing reviews for his play on the field, and he played well in the preseason after signing with the Rams as an undrafted rookie free agent. The Rams waived Lampkin with an injury designation. The Eagles then claimed him and placed him on their IR.

The Eagles activated Lampkin's 21-day practice window, which expired. He won't play this season.

OT Myles Hinton (IR, Eagles opened up 21-day practice window on 11/19): Hinton is a sixth-round rookie who was up and down in training camp. The Eagles placed him on IR with a back injury, and he has not been on the active roster all season.

The Eagles activated Hinton's 21-day practice window, which expired. He won't play this season.

OT Cameron Williams (IR, eligible to come off of IR at any time): Williams struggled in training camp, and landed on IR. This is effectively a redshirt season for him.

Wednesday notes

• Several reports have emerged that Geno Smith will not play in this game. Smith injured his right shoulder in the third quarter of the Raiders' loss to the Broncos on Sunday. He also suffered a cut on his right hand.

Former Eagle Kenny Pickett filled in and played well, completing 8 of 11 passes for 97 yards and a TD against a good Broncos defense.

Smith has had a horrendous season. He leads the NFL with 14 INTs, and his total EPA of -70.73 is ranked 70th in the NFL, only ahead of Titans rookie Cam Ward. The Eagles might very well rather face Smith.

• Last week, Crosby was on the Raiders' injury report with a knee injury. He was limited on Wednesday, and he did not practice on Thursday or Friday. He played all 74 snaps against the Broncos, and had 4 tackles and a sack. He has 9 sacks and 2 forced fumbles on the season, and is pretty clearly the Raiders' best player. My bet is that he'll play on Sunday, but we'll keep an eye out for reporting on him throughout the week. 

• Chinn is second on the team with 104 tackles. Like Crosby, he also played all 74 snaps against the Broncos.

Notable players on IR, PUP, suspension, etc.

LT Kolton Miller (IR, 21-day practice window opened on Wednesday): Miller is the Raiders' starting LT. He was a first-round pick in 2018, and is Vegas' best offensive lineman, by far. He suffered a high ankle sprain and a hairline fracture Week 4 against the Bears. Stone Forsythe filled in, and has started the last nine games for the Raiders.

Miller returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time since Week 4

RG Jackson Powers-Johnson (IR, eligible to come off of IR at any time): Powers-Johnson is the Raiders' starting center. He was the Raiders' second-round pick in 2024. He suffered an ankle injury against the Broncos Week 10, and his season is likely over. The Raiders' current starter at RG is Caleb Rogers, a third-round rookie.

CB Kyu Blu-Kelly (will soon be on IR, season over): Blu-Kelly is a starting corner. He had 40 tackles and 3 INTs before suffering a ruptured patellar tendon against the Broncos Week 14. His season is over. The Raiders' other regular starting corner is Eric Stokes. Third-round rookie Darien Porter filled in for Blu-Kelly after he went down.
