Saquon Barkley returned to the Eagles’ practice on Wednesday, but several key players remain absent due to injuries, as the team shifted its training to Lincoln Financial Field.
Practice Shift to Lincoln Financial Field
The Eagles moved practice from the NovaCare Complex to the stadium because the fields at the former were snow covered and frozen. The stadium field is in good shape.
Player Status

- Jalen Carter (shoulders), Lane Johnson (foot), Landon Dickerson (calf) and Fred Johnson (ankle) were not practicing.
- Fred Johnson attended practice as a spectator.
- Lane Johnson has missed the last four games with a Lisfranc sprain in his foot that he suffered against the Lions on Nov. 16. Fred Johnson has been his replacement over the last month but has been dealing with an ankle injury in recent weeks.
- Dickerson suffered a calf injury a couple weeks ago but played through it against the Raiders on Sunday and missed only a day of practice last week, yet still appeared in Week 15.
- Jalen Hurts held his weekly media availability on Tuesday and was asked about the criticism from fans and the media following a bad outing against the Chargers in Week 14.

- Tank Bigsby (illness) was practicing after being listed as limited to start the week.

The Eagles are adjusting to a mix of player absences and weather‑related practice changes as they prepare for the remainder of the season.
