> – Why it matters: Philadelphia’s interior line depth tested at critical playoff moment
Philadelphia’s offensive line faces a depth test ahead of Sunday’s wild-card showdown with San Francisco after the team ruled veteran reserve Brett Toth out with a concussion.
The Injury Update
The Eagles made the move Saturday, sliding Toth from questionable to out after he experienced concussion symptoms. The 29-year-old originally sustained the head injury in the regular-season finale against Washington, a game in which most starters sat.
Toth returned to limited practice late this week, but medical staff will not clear him for the 49ers matchup.
Next Men Up
With Toth sidelined, Philadelphia turns to:
- Matt Pryor – veteran interior swing option
- Drew Kendall – rookie reserve
Both players now one snap away from significant playoff snaps.
Toth’s 2024 Impact
The fifth-year lineman quietly delivered career highs across the board:
| Metric | 2024 | Previous Career Best |
|---|---|---|
| Games played | 17 | 14 |
| Starts | 4 | 2 |
| Offensive snaps | 363 | 156 |
He filled in at center and guard, giving coaches reliable interior insurance.
Johnson Status Still Unclear
All eyes remain on Lane Johnson‘s availability. The starting right tackle, recovering from a foot issue, practiced on a limited basis this week after missing the past seven games. He is officially questionable.
Key Takeaways
- Toth’s absence trims Philadelphia’s playoff interior depth
- Pryor and Kendall must be ready if called upon vs. 49ers
- Johnson’s potential return would offset Toth loss on the edge
- If the Eagles advance, Toth is expected to re-enter the preparation mix
Kickoff against San Francisco is set for Sunday, with the Eagles hoping healthier bodies return for a deeper postseason push.
