Inactive Players Announced for Commanders vs. Eagles Matchup
Tanner McKee is set to debut as the starting quarterback for this match, marking an important milestone in his season. The Eagles need a win against Washington to maintain their chances for the NFC’s No. 2 seed. However, this outcome also depends on the Bears’ performance against the Lions at 4:25 PM.
Playoff Implications
- If the Eagles secure the No. 2 seed, they will host a playoff game.
- Potential opponents could be the Los Angeles Rams or the San Francisco 49ers.
Coach’s Strategy
Head Coach Nick Sirianni explained his decision to rest several starters, emphasizing the importance of managing player health. He stated, “At the end of the day, it’s not a guarantee that we can get to the two seed, but I can rest the starters.” He feels confident in the depth of his team, noting that players who have been less active this season will get the opportunity to contribute.
This week, the Eagles have focused on ensuring those stepping in are well-prepared to compete. “We’ve had a good week of practice,” Sirianni commented, highlighting his team’s readiness to enter the game with a strategic approach.
