As the hours tick down before the Eagles and 49ers square off Sunday afternoon at 3pm at LFF for the NFC Championship game and a trip to Super Bowl 57, San Francisco has a number of key players not at practice this week.
On the other side, the Eagles are completely healthy with CB Avonte Maddox back at practice this week coming off a toe injury.
49er key players missing practice this week include star RB Christian McCaffrey with a calf, WR Deebo Samuel with an ankle and RB Elijah Mitchell with groin pull.
Injuries are the last thing a team wants to face in the biggest game of the year, but those players are expected to suit up Sunday.
The Eagles are favored by 2.5 points to reach their 2nd Super Bowl in 5 years.
