The biggest week of the Philadelphia Eagles' young season is upon us.

The Eagles are set for another showdown against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, the fourth time in the last three years both teams will meet. While the Eagles are 3-0 against the Rams, all the games have been entertainingly close.

Sunday should be no different, and it remains to be seen who will be available for the Eagles. Philadelphia had a walkthrough practice on Wednesday after playing on Monday night, but a lengthy injury report.

Here are some takeaways from the Wednesday injury report:

No Zack Baun

Baun is currently in the concussion protocol a sthe Eagles listed him as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. While it remains to be seen if Baun clears the protocol by the weekend, that means Jeremiah Trotter Jr. would be in line to start Sunday.

Trotter Jr. has played just six defensive snaps this season, as Baun and Jihaad Campbell have been healthy for teh first three weeks. He's still played, but has four tackles have come on special teams.

That could change come Sunday. Trotter Jr. could be in line for his first career start with the Eagles.

Down two WRs

Remember this is a walkthrough -- and a Wednesday practice -- so the Eagles could be going easy with some players. Smith's hamstring injury is notable following a relatively quiet second half on Monday night.

Smith did play all 20 offensive snaps in the second half, but had just one catch for four yards. If Smith has to miss Sunday, Dontayvion Wicks would be the WR1. Again, it's early in the week.

Hollywood Brown missed Week 3 with an ankle injury and missed Wednesday's practice. Elijah Moore played just six snaps and Darius Cooper four. Makai Lemon played 32 of the 47 offensive snaps (sans penalties).

Will Shipley added to injury report

Shipley missed the estimated practice with a foot injury, so we'll see what his status will be on Thursday. If Shipley can't go, that leaves the Eagles with just Saqion Barkley and Tank Bigsby as the active running backs.

The Eagles do have Jaydon Blue and Damion Pierce on the practice squad as eligible players to activate. Both Blue and Pierce have three practice squad elevations remaining.
