02 / THE GAME STORY

A changed Eagles attack faces Washington after the bye

Philadelphia started 2-0 and has since lost five straight. The Commanders return from their bye seeking a second victory. McKee remains Philadelphia's starter with Hurts on injured reserve; the outlook for this changed attack keeps the game unrated.

The Eagles' immediate problem extends beyond quarterback. Barkley, Smith and Wicks all missed Thursday practice. Lemon and Goedert offer established receiving options, but Philadelphia may need a very different distribution of touches from the one in its early-season record.

Washington has lost McLaurin to injured reserve and is also reshaping its backfield. Diggs returned to full work and Antonio Williams has an opportunity to handle more responsibility. Daniels' full practices are encouraging, while Kinlaw's absence matters to the defensive front. The historical matchup figures remain context, not a rating of this changed Eagles attack.
