Tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) and cornerback Darius Slay (groin) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Both Goedert and Slay missed all week of practice.
They're the only two players ruled out for Week 9. Every other player on the Eagles' 53-man roster is available for Sunday's game.
Without Slay, the Eagles will turn to veteran Isaiah Rodgers on Sunday. Rodgers came into the game against the Bengals in Week 8 and made a huge play, tipping a ball into the hands of C.J. Gardner-Johnson for an interception.

With Goedert out for his third straight game, the Eagles will rely on backups Grant Calcaterra and Jack Stoll. They have had just two tight ends active for each of the last two games.
Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith missed Friday's practice for personal reasons but will be good to play on Sunday.
Landon Dickerson (knee), Jalen Carter (shoulder) and Mekhi Becton (concussion) are all available for Sunday too. All three were full participants on Friday.

Meanwhile, the Jaguars have several notable injuries to monitor on Sunday:

Dickerson was the only player listed as a limited participant on Thursday. He missed the first practice of the week but will play through the injury.
Carter also missed the first practice of the week with a shoulder injury and was then a full participant on Thursday and Friday. A couple weeks ago, Carter missed another practice with a shoulder injury so it seems like this is one that the Eagles and Carter are managing right now.
Head coach Nick Sirianni said it’s about getting Carter prepared to play each game but also getting him healthy enough to be ready for Sunday.
“There’s always a fine line there,” Sirianni said. “I think he’s done a nice job as far as when he hasn’t been able to practice, being in it mentally. I think he’s continuing to get better. And just looking for him to have that consistency as a football player. Practice is going to help him and then playing in those games will obviously help him continue to raise his level of play.”
