The Philadelphia Eagles currently hold a commanding lead in the NFC East following their impressive victory over the Washington Commanders in Week 11. They are riding high after winning six in a row, and they will now square off against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium in Week 12.
The 5-5 Rams will try to go over .500 for the first time this season on Sunday night. After a sluggish start to the season, going 1-4 in their first five games, they have won four out of their last five.

LB Nakobe Dean (groin), OLB Jalyx Hunt (ankle), QB Jalen Hurts (ankle), and DT Milton Williams (foot) all appeared on the Eagles' injury report during the week, but none of them is carrying an injury designation into the game.
DeVonta Smith injury update
The Eagles revealed on their final injury report on Friday that DeVonta Smith will miss the game against the Rams with a hamstring injury. The receiver did not practice at all throughout the week and was ultimately ruled out.
Smith leads the Eagles wideouts this season in receptions (41) and receiving touchdowns (4).
His absence on Sunday may allow rookie Johnny Wilson and Jahan Dotson to have more responsibilities behind wide receiver A.J. Brown.
Jalen Hurts injury update
The Eagles classified quarterback Jalen Hurts as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Despite being listed as having an ankle injury, he informed reporters after practice that day that his limited practice involvement was only a strategy to keep him fresh for the last few games of the regular season.
Hurts has been removed from the injury list after returning for full practice participation on Thursday and Friday.
Britain Covey injury update
Britain Covey, who has missed the last seven games because of a shoulder injury, had his 21-day window opened by the Eagles on Wednesday. After that, he participated in three full practices before being listed as questionable in the final injury report on Friday.
Covey has been on the injured reserve list since late September after suffering a shoulder injury in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints.
