The Eagles could face challenges on offense if A.J. Brown isn’t at full strength. Dallas Goedert’s absence may also limit their passing game, while injuries to key linemen like Lane Johnson and Cam Jurgens could disrupt protection for Jalen Hurts.
For Washington, Bobby Wagner’s injury may weaken their ability to stop the run. Da’Ron Payne’s absence on the defensive line could allow the Eagles’ rushing attack to dominate. Frankie Luvu’s shoulder issue also leaves the Commanders’ defense vulnerable.

I write about sports because, well, it brings in the big bucks! I’m not some lifelong analyst or stats guru, truth being told, you’ve probably never heard of me!—I just know how to research, write, and make things sound good. That’s the job!
Got into sports media the same way most people do: by (fortunate) accident. Started with SEO writing, took on a few sports gigs, and now here we are! I cover games, trades, player drama—whatever needs words.
Favorite part? The chaos. One day it’s a blockbuster trade, the next it’s a goat running onto the field. Never boring.
