Overview
- The Eagles are 2-5 and have lost five straight games following a 38-21 defeat to the Cowboys, a skid that has erased early-season hopes.
- Jalen Hurts is presumed out for the season while he treats blood clots that reached his lungs, leaving the team without its starting quarterback.
- Lane Johnson's retirement has left the offensive line thin and the Eagles 0-4 without his presence in pass protection and run blocking.
- Backup Tanner McKee has shown brief promise, driving a touchdown to Makai Lemon, but he also threw an interception and absorbed multiple sacks, highlighting ongoing inconsistency at the position ahead of Sunday Night Football against Washington.
- National outlets have dropped Philadelphia into the league's bottom 10 in power rankings and several analysts say the team looks like a trade-deadline seller as the injury-heavy roster and NFC East turbulence force a reassessment of the season's outlook.
