Overview
- Multiple reports cite The Inquirer’s Jeff McLane in saying most Eagles starters, including Jalen Hurts, are expected to sit against Washington.
- Rookie Tanner McKee is viewed as the likely starter if Hurts rests for the regular-season finale at Lincoln Financial Field.
- Head coach Nick Sirianni said the decision is still being evaluated and not yet required, emphasizing doing what is best for the team.
- Philadelphia can secure the NFC’s No. 2 seed only if it wins and Chicago loses to Detroit; otherwise it will be the No. 3 seed.
- Washington has struggled and could be down to third-string quarterback Josh Johnson, a factor that lowers the risk of sitting key players.
