Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jason Peters (foot) was ruled out of Sunday’s game at the Green Bay Packers, while cornerback Darius Slay (knee) and linebacker T.J. Edwards (hamstring) were announced as questionable to return.

Peters started the game at right guard, and he left the game in the third quarter. He was replaced by Nate Herbig. Peters was making his second straight start at right guard after beginning the season as the left tackle. He missed four games because of a toe injury, and he will reportedly need surgery when the season is over.

Slay entered the weekend as questionable with a calf injury, but he was active and started for the Eagles. He spent much of the game matched up with Packers star Davante Adams, and Adams had some success. Slay gave up a fourth-down touchdown catch in the second quarter, and past the halfway point of the fourth quarter, Adams had nine catches for 122 yards and a touchdown.

Slay was replaced by Michael Jacquet at cornerback.

Edwards was listed on the injury report during the week with a hamstring injury, but he did not have an injury status entering the weekend. He had two tackles and was credited with a sack where Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers gave himself up before exiting the game with his injury.

The Eagles previously lost linebacker Davion Taylor for the game with a knee injury.

The Eagles trail the Packers, 23-17, in the fourth quarter.
