Eagles-Panthers inactives: Jordan Mailata active for first time, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata out

Eagles defensive tackle Haloti Ngata will not play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers because of a calf injury that has now sidelined him for the third consecutive week. Treyvon Hester is expected to start in Ngata's place.

The Eagles' other inactives are linebackers D.J. Alexander (quadriceps) and Nate Gerry (knee, ankle); safety Corey Graham (hamstring); cornerback Sidney Jones (hamstring); running back Darren Sproles (hamstring); and offensive lineman Matt Pryor, who is the only healthy scratch.

Ngata was the only player questionable on Sunday. With Ngata out, Hester and Bruce Hector are the Eagles' only defensive tackles behind Fletcher Cox.
