Overview
- Nick Sirianni lauded Micah Parsons as a phenomenal, multi-dimensional disruptor whom the Eagles must track as Green Bay moves him around the formation.
- Parsons has 43 pressures and roughly seven sacks, and his arrival coincides with the Packers ranking second in PFF overall defense and fifth in pass rush, with Rashan Gary also at seven sacks.
- Philadelphia fortified its defense at the deadline by adding Jaelan Phillips, Jaire Alexander and Michael Carter II, and welcoming Brandon Graham out of retirement.
- Green Bay lost leading tight end Tucker Kraft to a season-ending ACL tear, prompting Matt LaFleur to call for a collective response across the offense.
- After a bye, Saquon Barkley and A.J. Brown practiced fully, and the SportsLine model estimates Green Bay’s playoff chances at 85.5% with a win versus 68.3% with a loss.
