The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t play in Week 9 but the franchise was certainly busy around the trade deadline.
Multiple deals brought reinforcements in for the Eagles’ defense. Coordinator Vic Fangio will have two new cornerbacks in Jaire Alexander and Michael Carter II as well as a familiar face in edge rusher Jaelen Phillips. Fangio worked with Phillips in 2023 in Fangio’s lone season with the Dolphins.
With those deals done and the dust settled, Philadelphia returns to the field after a bye week in Week 10 to face the Green Bay Packers in prime time. ‘Monday Night Football’ will see the two teams face off for the first time since the NFC wild-card playoffs last season.
These two teams are in the thick of the playoff race. Philadelphia currently sits atop the conference at 6-2; Green Bay is close behind at the No. 4 seed. A Packers win could see the two teams switch spots, while an Eagles victory would steady their hold on the conference.
A key part of a potential Eagles victory will be running back Saquon Barkley’s status. He left the Eagles’ Week 8 game against New York early with a groin injury. Here’s what we know about his status for Week 10:
Saquon Barkley injury update: Is Eagles RB playing Week 10?
Philadelphia hasn’t released an update about its star running back this week. Per multiple reports, Barkley’s initial groin injury wasn’t serious enough to keep him out of the lineup for an extended period of time.
Philadelphia hasn’t released an injury report for Week 10 yet, but it looks good for Barkley to be back in the lineup against Green Bay.
