The Philadelphia Eagles are set to face the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round at Lincoln Financial Field. Despite snowy conditions in South Philadelphia, the Eagles' roster is in good shape.

Tight end Dallas Goedert, who was previously listed as a non-participant due to illness, participated in practice on Friday and is ready for the game. Defensive tackle Byron Young remains out with a hamstring injury, still on Injured Reserve during his 21-day practice window.

Philadelphia has elevated fullback Khari Blasingame for his fifth appearance this season, including last week's Wild Card game. Linebacker Nicholas Morrow has also been elevated after joining the practice squad following Nakobe Dean's knee injury. Morrow, who started 12 games last season for the Eagles, returns after playing with the Bills earlier this season.

The Rams have confirmed that tight end Tyler Higbee will play despite a chest injury sustained last week. However, defensive end Larrell Murchison and inside linebacker Troy Reeder are ruled out due to foot and hamstring injuries respectively.

The inactive players for both teams include several key positions but do not impact their starting lineups significantly.
