Rams and Eagles Announce Inactives for NFL Week 12 Clash

The Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles have revealed their lists of inactive players for their upcoming matchup in the 2024 NFL Week 12, held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, at 5:20 p.m. PT. The Rams have been hit with a significant absence as their starting right tackle, Rob Havenstein, is officially inactive due to an ankle injury. Havenstein, who sustained the injury during Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks, was previously listed as doubtful for the game.

Other notable inactives for the Rams include quarterback Stetson Bennett, cornerback Charles Woods, running back Cody Schrader, outside linebacker Brennan Jackson, offensive lineman Dylan McMahon, and defensive end Desjuan Johnson. Both Woods and Havenstein are dealing with ankle injuries, further compounding the Rams’ injury woes.

For the Philadelphia Eagles, star wide receiver DeVonta Smith will miss the game owing to a lingering hamstring injury that kept him from practicing throughout the week. In his absence, the Eagles are left with wide receivers A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Britain Covey, Johnny Wilson, and Ainias Smith. This game marks Covey’s return to the field since his injury in Week 3, and he is expected to contribute to the punt return duties.

Other Eagles listed as inactive are cornerback Eli Ricks, offensive linemen Nick Gates, Darian Kinnard, and Trevor Keegan, as well as emergency third quarterback Tanner McKee. Under the NFL’s third quarterback rule, McKee can only take the field if both primary quarterbacks, Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett, are unable to continue playing due to injuries.

These absences set a challenging stage for both teams, with adjustments needed on both sides of the ball. The game will be broadcast on NBC.
