Overview
- The Philadelphia Inquirer and other outlets report Jalen Hurts and several regulars will sit, with Nick Sirianni saying players would be briefed before any public confirmation.
- Tanner McKee is in line to start for Philadelphia, which would mark his second NFL start after a Week 18 win last season.
- Washington is expected to start 39-year-old Josh Johnson again, with Dan Quinn calling Marcus Mariota a long shot to return from injury.
- Philadelphia can still climb to the NFC’s No. 2 seed with a win and a Chicago loss to Detroit, yet the team is proceeding with a rest-first approach.
- Tempers linger from the Week 16 brawl, while individual bonuses and injuries could shape participation, including payouts in reach for veterans such as Von Miller, Deebo Samuel, and Saquon Barkley and Washington placing center Tyler Biadasz on injured reserve.
