The Chicago Bears climb to No. 5 after adding Jeffery Simmons, while the Seattle Seahawks sit at No. 6 after a defensive showcase.

Eagles News: Jalen Carter says he’s not playing “to what the fans want, even though it don’t really matter what they want”
After a loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter addressed the media, bluntly calling his play “trash” and shrugging off fan expectations despite playing through a hairline wrist fracture. The piece notes Carter’s $160 million, four‑year extension that made him the NFL’s highest‑paid interior lineman, his draft background (No. 9 overall in 2023), and his under‑whelming performance this season, including a 19‑17 defeat to Jacksonville in London. The article also highlights the Eagles’ five‑game skid and upcoming challenges, such as a looming matchup against the Washington Commanders.
Eagles Injury Report: Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks DNP
The Eagles release their Week 8 injury report ahead of the Washington Commanders matchup, listing six key players as Did Not Participate—including RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back), WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring), and WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) – raising doubts they’ll suit up. Additional absences feature LB Jihaad Campbell (hamstring/quad), WR Britain Covey (knee), and CB Jonathan Jones (hamstring). Limited participation slots include edge rusher Nolan Smith (concussion) and safety Michael Carter II (abdomen), while full participants like Zack Baun, Landon Dickerson and Dallas Goedert are cleared. The Commanders also note key injuries, most notably WR Terry McLaurin on IR. Fans will want to know how these setbacks impact the Eagles’ chances against Washington.
Vic Fangio rejects that the Eagles’ defense has an effort issue
After the Eagles’ worst defensive outing of the season against the Cowboys, coordinator Vic Fangio says the problem isn’t effort. He admits his coaching on the run stop‑gap fell short, blames injuries to edge players like Jonathan Greenard and Jalyx Hunt for a weaker pass rush, and praises Jalen Carter’s mindset for future consistency. Fangio also defends Cooper DeJean’s development despite recent struggles and gives Riq Woolen a pass on a tough play. With Jihaad Campbell injured, the snap‑count between him and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. remains fluid, but Fangio notes the unit’s response to the loss has been positive.
Commanders cornerback guarantees Washington will beat the Eagles in Week 8
Commanders cornerback Amib Robertson boldly guarantees a Washington win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8, citing the team’s 5.5‑point home‑favorite status. The statement comes after the Eagles’ recent loss and a lukewarm Monday night performance, setting up a rivalry clash that could test Robertson’s confidence. Both teams’ recent records and a prior season meeting add intrigue to the upcoming Sunday night game.
Eagles roster news includes Dameon Pierce to injured reserve
The Philadelphia Eagles announce a flurry of roster moves after a crushing loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 26. Running back Dameon Pierce lands on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games and leaving the Eagles with four RBs on IR, while Saquon Barkley remains under 100%. To fill the backfield hole, the team promotes practice‑squad RB Jaydon Blue to the active roster. Additionally, the Eagles add OG Evan Beerntsen and WR Quentin Skinner to the practice squad, and bring cornerback Shaun Wade back for depth. The updates underscore a battered running game and a push for more offensive and defensive depth heading into Week 8.
Eagles-Cowboys Film Review: Some positives on offense, for once
The Eagles finally showed offensive spark in their 21‑20 win over the Cowboys, but the improvement is modest. Philadelphia amassed 321 yards with a -0.11 passing EPA and +0.05 rushing EPA, stringing together three long TD drives before stalling after taking the lead in the third quarter. Quarterback Sean Mannion’s daring under‑center play‑action worked early, yet protection issues persisted and the passing game remained uneven. Saquon Barkley, at about 80% health, was the most impactful player, rushing for 62 yards on seven carries and highlighting the difference Landon Dickerson’s return makes in the run game. While the offense gave fans something to cheer about, the review warns that consistency and coaching adjustments are still needed.
Several Eagles players listed among top 25 trade candidates ahead of the deadline
Ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 10, ESPN analysts Matt Bowen and Jeremy Fowler list several Philadelphia Eagles players among their Top 25 trade candidates. Cornerback Riq Woolen ranks No. 8, with a 35% trade likelihood due to his high upside and modest $1.26 million base salary. Guard Landon Dickerson appears at No. 12, cited for a mismatched fit and a 25% chance of moving for draft assets. Tight end Dallas Goedert and WR Hollywood Brown earn honorable mentions because of their one‑year deals, while Bengals EDGE Shemar Stewart is noted as a potential Eagles target for a third‑round pick. The Eagles’ front office faces pivotal roster decisions as the season stalls.
Eagles News: Nick Foles says “there is dysfunction in Philly”
Former Eagle quarterback Nick Foles bluntly declares “there is dysfunction in Philly,” blaming cultural shifts rather than scheme for the team’s recent slide. On his podcast he censures the firing of offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland and points to a lack of protection for backs, while also lambasting a sub‑par defensive showing against the Cowboys (zero sacks, 416 yards allowed). The roundup adds trade‑deadline chatter: veterans like Riq Woolen, Hollywood Brown and Dallas Goedert could fetch value, but the Eagles, stocked with future first‑ and second‑round picks, aren’t desperate to sell.
Eagles-Cowboys Film Review: Most annoying defensive performance of the Vic Fangio era
On Monday Night Football, the Eagles’ defense delivered the most frustrating performance of Vic Fangio’s tenure, surrendering 416 yards and 24 points to the Cowboys despite fielding most of its starters. Dallas rushed for 204 yards, used a jumbo six‑lineman set that generated 9.3 yards per carry, and completed vertical routes with a 13.12‑yard average depth of target while the Eagles recorded zero sacks, quarterback hits, or tackles for loss. Fangio’s scheme failed to adjust, leaving the secondary exposed and the blitz ineffective. The post‑game analysis blames the lack of pressure and poor gap control, marking the game as the worst defensive showing since the Eagles’ Super Bowl LVII loss.
Eagles-Cowboys snap counts: Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis play a lot, produce little
The official snap counts from the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys are in. Let’s take a look and run through some analysis. OFFENSE DEFENSE SPECIAL TEAMS DID NOT PLAY ACTIVE: Joe Milton, Mac McWilliams INACTIVE: Nolan Smith, DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Cole Payton, Michael Carter II, Lane Johnson, Jake Majors
Thinking about injuries since the Eagles game ended
The Philadelphia Eagles, now 2‑5 and amid the longest losing streak of the Nick Sirianni era, are grappling with a cascade of injuries to stars like Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, and Jalen Carter. The article argues the team’s medical and conditioning staff, exemplified by questionable handling of Jalen Hurts’ injury, may be jeopardizing player health for short‑term wins. It also compares Philadelphia’s plight to the 49ers’ chronic injury issues under Kyle Shanahan’s contact‑heavy practices, calling for the NFLPA and the league to set uniform standards for medical care, practice structure, and player safety.
Eagles cut two practice squad players
The Philadelphia Eagles released two practice‑squad players on Tuesday: safety Dean Clark and versatile offensive tackle Xavier Truss. Clark, signed on Oct. 14 to add depth at safety and nickel corner, and Truss, signed on Oct. 13 for offensive line flexibility, were both cut after less than two weeks. The moves come as the Eagles address roster issues and look to fill the resulting gaps, signaling a push to get their season back on track.
What on earth happened to this Eagles defense?
The Eagles’ defense crumbles in a 38-21 Monday Night loss to the Cowboys, surrendering the league’s 6th‑most total yards (371.3) and 7th‑most passing yards (239.9) despite a talented, high‑priced front seven. With only three interceptions, no fumble recoveries, a 1.1‑sack per‑game average and a 28.1% pressure rate (10th‑worst), the unit looks helpless as Dallas rushes for 204 yards. Injuries provide little excuse; only Nolan Smith registers three sacks, while stars Jalen Carter, Jonathan Greenard and Jordan Davis post minimal impact. The secondary fares no better, highlighted by erratic play from Cooper DeJean and Riq Woolen. The article argues the defense’s decline is now eclipsing the offense’s early‑season woes.
Quenton Nelson trade rumors: Eagles among teams that showed interest in Colts guard
The Philadelphia Eagles were among several teams, including the Packers and Bears, that reportedly showed interest in Indianapolis Colts All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson before the Colts traded him to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2027 third‑round and 2028 fifth‑round pick. While Eagles GM Howie Roseman has been shopping for a starting blocker, the team's 2‑5 record and impending 2026 trade deadline suggest they may be sellers rather than buyers. Nelson, 30, becomes a free agent after the season, making him a short‑term, high‑cost option the Eagles likely hesitate to pursue.
2027 NFL Draft order: Eagles in the top six
The Philadelphia Eagles are mired in a five‑game losing streak, the NFL’s second‑longest behind the 0‑6 Chargers, and have been out‑gained by a staggering 745 yards—the worst differential in a seven‑week span this century. Their poor performance secures them a No. 6 overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, tied with six other 2‑5 teams but edged ahead by a favorable strength‑of‑schedule tiebreaker. Past high‑profile picks like DeVonta Smith and Landon Dickerson in 2021 show the potential upside of landing top talent, though 10 games remain to shape the season’s narrative.
Eagles News: “Is there any part of this team to believe in right now?”
The Philadelphia Eagles slump to 2-5 after a 38-21 defeat at Dallas, prompting Bleeding Green Nation to declare the team "cooked." The defense, once ranked among the league’s worst in yards, rush, and sacks, collapsed again, allowing 416 yards and zero sacks. With Jalen Hurts on IR, Lane Johnson retired, and Saquon Barkley stepping up as a vocal leader, the Eagles face a daunting stretch against the Commanders and Giants after a Monday night loss. Coach Nick Sirianni’s job hangs in the balance, and a miraculous turnaround seems unlikely.
Now comes the fall for the Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni faces mounting criticism after the 38-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 26, 2026. The author argues that the team’s woes go beyond effort, citing poor game planning, second‑half offensive collapse, and a 0‑8 record as home underdogs under Sirianni. Recent comments from Jordan Mailata about lacking “want to” fuel doubts, while historical parallels to past losing seasons underscore the depth of the problem. With the season seemingly doomed, the piece questions whether any argument beyond “they played hard” remains viable.
Nick Sirianni talks about the Eagles’ defensive struggles
After a humiliating loss, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni addressed the team’s defensive woes, blaming poor block destruction, missed tackles and a lack of pressure against the Cowboys’ balanced offense. He emphasized the need for better coaching, execution and practice adjustments, while praising the squad’s resilience and growth mindset. Sirianni also discussed Saquon Barkley’s cautious return, noting his limited snap count, health monitoring, and productive contributions when on the field. The coach’s message to players centered on staying consistent, grateful and fighting through tough situations, drawing parallels to the 2021 season’s turnaround.
Eagles vs. Cowboys: The good, the bad, and the ugly
The Dallas Cowboys hand the Philadelphia Eagles a 38-21 defeat at Lincoln Financial Field, extending the Eagles’ losing streak to five games and dropping them to 2‑5 on the season. Dak Prescott throws for 212 yards and three touchdowns while Javonte Williams rushes for 155 yards, as Dallas dominates with 416 total yards. Philadelphia’s lone bright spots come from Makai Lemon’s 67 receiving yards and a 75‑yard opening drive in the second half, but the defense records zero tackles for loss and allows scores on seven of nine possessions. The loss marks the Cowboys’ first win at the Linc since 2021 and fuels speculation that the Eagles may be tanking.

Bleeding Green Nation provides live score updates, highlights, injury reports and analysis throughout the matchup, with a discussion thread for fans. Both teams entered the contest with identical 2‑4 records, promising a pivotal NFC East showdown.
Saquon Barkley’s hamstring is still an issue, but the Eagles needed him
The Philadelphia Eagles finally sparked early offense on Monday night, scoring on their first drive thanks to Saquon Barkley's return after a hamstring setback. Barkley admitted he’d gauge his feel in-game, and after a shaky second carry he still finished the drive with a touchdown. He logged ten snaps, a 12‑yard run at halftime and totaled 62 rushing yards before being listed questionable in the fourth quarter due to lingering discomfort. Coach managed his pitch count, limiting his workload as the team hopes the limited action won’t aggravate the injury and he can rebuild toward a full role.
Eagles vs. Cowboys Week 7 ‘Monday Night Football’ live chat
The Philadelphia Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7 Monday Night Football on Oct. 26, 2026. After a string of disappointing outings, the Eagles return with key offensive linemen Landon Dickerson, Eli Stowers and Grant Calcaterra back from injury, but lose star receiver DeVonta Smith to a hamstring strain. Fans are invited to join Bleeding Green Nation’s live chat on the SB Nation app for real‑time updates, scoreboards, and debate. The thread hopes the offense can spark the struggling defense, which has been over‑tired from recent snap loads.
Britain Covey ruled out of Eagles-Cowboys MNF game
Britain Covey is ruled out for the rest of Monday Night Football after sustaining a knee injury on the kickoff following the Cowboys' opening field goal against the Eagles. The injury came just 13 minutes into the game, prompting the Eagles to list him as out and shift return duties to Dameon Pierce and Elijah Mitchell. Covey, the team's top return specialist and a depth option at wide receiver, has dealt with multiple injuries since joining Philadelphia this offseason. The team hopes his recovery will be swift.
Eagles-Cowboys inactives: Saquon Barkley will play
The Philadelphia Eagles reveal their Week 7 inactives ahead of Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys. DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Nolan Smith, Michael Carter II, Jake Majors and emergency QB Cole Payton sit out.

The Eagles' WR depth shifts to Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Elijah Moore, Hollywood Brown and Britain Covey, while edge rusher Jalyx Hunt and Jonathan Greenard also stay active. The Cowboys lose KaVontae Turpin, Dee Winters, Drew Shelton and others.
