In a tightly contested wild-card matchup, injuries marred the performance of both the Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles. Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs suffered a concerning head injury in the third quarter, falling hard to the turf while attempting a catch. Medical personnel rushed to evaluate him on the field, and he was later seen walking off slowly, raising alarms regarding a potential concussion.
Meanwhile, teammate Jayden Reed also left the game, suffering a shoulder injury late in the fourth quarter after being tackled firmly. The Eagles quickly indicated that Reed's return was uncertain.
Philadelphia's Nakobe Dean faced a more serious situation, as he limped off the field with a knee injury late in the first half and was carted away. This left the Eagles with significant personnel issues on defense, particularly after cornerback Darius Slay had already experienced an elbow injury but managed to return and even recorded an interception.
The Packers also dealt with their share of injuries, losing left guard Elgton Jenkins and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt in the first quarter. Their early exits compounded the challenges faced by Green Bay as they tried to maintain their playoff push against a resilient Eagles squad.
