The Eagles' big-name linemen -- Carter and Johnson -- remain week to week. Although Johnson reportedly has a decent shot at returning for Week 16, Carter's status remains unknown as he recovers from shoulder surgery.

Johnson had already been ruled out earlier in the week, targeting Week 15 against the Raiders as his potential return date. Philadelphia's offensive struggles have been exacerbated with the veteran's absence, something that could come to a head against the league's third-ranked defense on Monday Night Football.

Johnson is the only notable player on this list, and he was ruled out on Thursday. The Eagles are operating at near full strength as they prepare to host the 8-3 Bears in a clash of division leaders.

The Eagles' beat-up offensive line will be without Johnson for at least one game after he sustained a foot injury last week. It could be an issue against a Dallas front seven that has gotten a lot healthier over the past few weeks. Jalen Hurts could be forced to run more than he has in recent weeks with Johnson sidelined.
