The Eagles are just two seasons removed from winning the Super Bowl, having won in the 2024 campaign. After losing to the 49ers in the Wild Card Round last season, there were still plenty of reasons for the Eagles to be a top contender in the NFC.

However, Philadelphia has been severely affected by the injury bug in the first half of 2026. The Eagles are currently without QB Jalen Hurts, who was placed on injured reserve after further testing revealed that blood clots had traveled to his lungs.

With Hurts out of the lineup, the Eagles have turned to third-year QB Tanner McKee to lead the offense. McKee is set to start his third consecutive game in Week 8 and has completed 61.3% of his passes for 426 yards and 2 TDs with 1 INT.

The Eagles will also be without top WRs DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) for the second consecutive week. Neither Smith nor Wicks practiced with the team because of their injuries.

It’s also unclear if the Eagles will have the services of star RB Saquon Barkley, who is dealing with hamstring and back injuries. Barkley was limited to 7 carries for 62 yards and a TD against Dallas last week.

If Barkley can’t play, the Eagles will lean on RBs Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue after RB Dameon Pierce was placed on IR.

Meanwhile, the Commanders’ lone win came against the Seattle Seahawks in a 33-31 Week 3 decision. Washington recorded a 27-27 tie against the New York Giants in Week 5 before falling to the 49ers prior to their Week 7 bye. 

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels has been limited to just four games. Daniels suffered a dislocated left elbow against the Cowboys in Week 2 and missed two contests as a result. However, he returned earlier this month and has completed 70.8% of his passes for 499 yards and 2 TDs in his two outings back in the lineup.

Washington is also shorthanded in the backfield with RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt landing on IR due to a groin injury. The Commanders will turn to veteran RBs Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler to lead the backfield. 

This will also mark the first game without star WR Terry McLaurin, who suffered a torn patellar tendon against the 49ers and will miss the remainder of the season.

With McLaurin out, veteran WR Stefon Diggs figures to be one of the team’s top pass catchers after tallying 24 catches for 214 yards and 4 TDs in five games this season.
