Overview
- The NFC East matchup is set for Sunday Night Football on Sunday, Nov. 1 at Northwest Stadium in Landover with live national coverage on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
- Philadelphia has lost five straight games following Monday night’s 38-21 loss to the Cowboys and will start Tanner McKee after Jalen Hurts was ruled out for the season because of blood clots.
- All-Pro running back Saquon Barkley was cleared to play with a limited snap count after leaving the Dallas game with a back issue, but the Eagles will be without several other key offensive weapons.
- Washington is 1-4-1 coming off a Week 7 bye, has Jayden Daniels as its starter (winless in recent starts), and will be missing defensive tackle Daron Payne and receiver Terry McLaurin because of recent injuries.
- Bookmakers and most pundits favor Washington by roughly 5 to 7 points, and reporters say the game’s outcome could shift short-term plans for both teams, including coaching scrutiny for Philadelphia and roster depth moves for Washington.
