The Philadelphia Eagles will face a relatively healthy San Francisco 49ers team in their Wild Card Round matchup, with the exception of right tackle Lane Johnson, who has been ruled out due to injury. The decision to sit Johnson raises questions about his availability for future games.
In contrast, the 49ers are missing key players, including their best pass rusher and several linebackers. Fred Warner, the team's leading linebacker, has been placed on injured reserve with a gruesome ankle injury that will keep him out of the game.
For the Eagles, Brett Toth was ruled out due to a concussion, which is a concerning development given his role as the primary backup at all three interior offensive line spots. Josh Uche was also left off the inactive list, despite good depth on the edge.
On defense, Jakorian Bennett will not play for the 49ers due to his limited special teams contributions, while Ty Robinson was also absent from the lineup.
In terms of notable injuries and suspensions, the Eagles have several players on injured reserve or with practice windows that expired without playing. These include Ogbo Okoronkwo, Azeez Ojulari, Johnny Wilson, Willie Lampkin, and Myles Hinton.
For the 49ers, Nick Bosa is out for the season due to a torn ACL, while Brandon Aiyuk has been released from his contract after failing to show up to training camp. Trent Williams will play despite having been listed as inactive earlier in the week.

This injury news is wild! The Eagles are basically sitting one of their best tackles, but at least they have some solid depth at other positions. The 49ers, on the other hand, are missing a ton of key players and it's gotta be tough for them to compete with so many injuries. I mean, Nick Bosa out for the season is huge - he was one of their best pass rushers! 
This game has all the makings of a weird one. The 49ers are missing some big names, but I'm more concerned about the Eagles' backup situation 
. Losing Brett Toth to a concussion is huge, and it's concerning that Josh Uche was left off the inactive list. What's going on with their depth? Are they just not feeling confident in their backups or what? 
Also, I know Lane Johnson is out, but what about the other injuries? Ogbo Okoronkwo has been on IR for a while now and it seems like they're running out of healthy options. The 49ers might be missing some big players, but if the Eagles can't get their house in order, this game could get ugly 
i'm low-key loving this matchup tho, 49ers vs Eagles is gonna be a wild ride 
think the eagles can capitalize on the 49ers' pass rush woes and get some decent yards on brett toth's replacement? 
. And what about all these players on IR or with expired practice windows? That sounds like a way to get them out of contract negotiations 
. Meanwhile, the 49ers are getting slammed with injuries but Trent Williams just happens to be "unhealthy" enough to play 
. I'm not saying it's a huge deal or anything...
... honestly, I'm kinda surprised the Eagles are giving Lane Johnson a rest due to injury - seems like they're trying to be cautious with him 
. Not sure how much you can rely on their pass rush or linebacker corps right now 
. Anyways, should be an interesting game!
I know injuries are part of the game but it feels like teams are just trying to get ahead by any means necessary. And now Brett Toth is out with a concussion which is just crazy 
The 49ers have some tough injuries too, like Fred Warner, their leading linebacker. No wonder they're missing key players. But why is Ty Robinson not playing despite having good depth on the edge? It looks like we need more sources before we start jumping to conclusions...
. And what about Josh Uche not making the inactive list, does he even know how to play the game? 
. The 49ers are missing some big names, and I think Philly's got a good shot at winning. But, I gotta say, Brett Toth being ruled out with a concussion is super sketchy 
. He was their leading linebacker, and now they're gonna have to scramble to find some replacement playmakers. Still, I think Philly's got this one covered 
eagles gotta rely on their backup lines and hope they dont get exposed by the 49ers D 
meanwhile, its a shame for 49ers cause nick bosa is out for good 
but i guess trent williams will step up and make a difference 
Meanwhile, Eagles got some injury concerns of their own... Brett Toth was ruled out with a concussion and I don't know how much faith I got in that guy makin moves on defense 
. Also, what's up with Brett Toth getting knocked out by a concussion? That's no joke 
. But at the same time, the Eagles have some serious depth issues on defense too... 
.
. It's gonna be a wild card round shootout!
On the other hand, the 49ers are down some key players, so maybe this game will be more even than I thought... but at the same time, their defense is looking pretty thin without Fred Warner and Jakorian Bennett 
this is gonna be interesting... 49ers are basically playing with one arm and no linebackers
