The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced the inactives list for their 2025 NFL playoffs Wild Card game against the Green Bay Packers.
The following Eagles players WILL NOT PLAY: Tanner McKee, Nick Gates, Darian Kinnard, Trevor Keegan, Ainias Smith, Eli Ricks, and Lewis Cine.
Under the NFL’s emergency third quarterback rule, McKee is only allowed to play if both Jalen Hurts AND Kenny Pickett leave the game due to injury.
The versatile Brett Toth is notably active as the eighth offensive lineman with Jack Driscoll going on injured reserve. Gates and Kinnard are healthy scratches. Keegan would’ve been a healthy scratch if he wasn’t already ruled out due to illness.
Ainias Smith is a healthy scratch. The Eagles are keeping five wide receivers active ahead of him: A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, and Parris Campbell.
After being temporarily elevated from the practice squad, Campbell is active for the first time since Week 13 and fullback Khari Blasingame is active for the first time since Week 16.
Ricks is normally a healthy scratch as a seventh cornerback who doesn’t really play special teams.
Cine, signed to the roster earlier this week, is a healthy scratch as the sixth safety.
