    The Philadelphia Eagles (2-1) wrapped up their final practice on Friday as they prepare to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1) in Week 4.

    The only starter who did not practice was wide receiver DeVonta Smith (concussion) .

    Wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) and right tackle Lane Johnson (concussion) were limited.

    Right guard Mekhi Becton (wrist) returned to full practice after being limited on Wednesday.

    Starting safety Darius Slay (knee) remains on the injury report, though has been a full participant every day this week.

    Starting edge Milton Williams (groin) was a new name to pop up on this week's injury report as a limited participant on Thursday. He practiced in full on Friday.

    Below is the Eagles' injury report following Friday's practice:

    Eagles Friday Week 4 Injury Report

    Eagles Week 4 Injury Report Observations

    • Brown has not played or practiced in the last two weeks due to his hamstring and his availability for Sunday remains up in the air. It's a very good sign that he was limited in Friday's practice after being sidelined.
    • Smith exited Week 3's win over the Saints with a concussion and he will need to clear protocol before returning to action. He is out for Sunday.
    • Becton has a cast on his hand and told reporters he tore a ligament in his finger and will play Sunday.
    • Johnson must also clear concussion protocol before he's able to play in a game but he could by Sunday.
    • Slay left Sunday's game early with an unknown injury. We learned today that it was his knee. It's worth noting he had minor knee surgery last year, which is concerning if it is the same one bothering him again.
    • Wide receiver Britain Covey has been placed on Injured Reserve for at least six weeks after breaking a bone in his shoulder. That means more opportunities for rookie Cooper DeJean on the punt return.
    • Williams' injury appears to be minor.
