Philadelphia: Exciting news for Eagles fans! All 22 starters are set to play against the Packers in the wild card round. It’s a big deal, especially since Jalen Hurts is back after missing two games due to a concussion.
A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are also in the lineup, despite some injury concerns earlier in the week. This trio—Hurts, Brown, and Smith—hasn’t played together much this season, so it’s great to see them all on the field.
This marks the fourth time this season that the Eagles have had all their starters available. They previously achieved this in their opener against the Packers, and in games against the Browns and Commanders.
As for the inactives, the Eagles will be without QB Tanner McKee and a few offensive linemen. The only player ruled out due to injury was Trevor Keegan, who missed practice all week.
On a positive note, the Eagles elevated fullback Khari Blasingame and receiver Parris Campbell from the practice squad, so they’ll be active for the game. This gives the Eagles a bit more depth as they face the Packers.
With Green Bay missing their top corner, Jaire Alexander, the Eagles might have an edge in the passing game. If they win today, they’ll find out who they’ll host next week, which could be the Buccaneers, Rams, or Vikings.
It’s shaping up to be an exciting matchup, and fans are eager to see how it all unfolds!
