With the TNF game over between the NFC West powerhouses of the LA Rams and SF 49ers. It’s time to check in on the Eagles. Now that we’re entering Week 5, with 25% of the season over with and how the team is shaping up before we get to the Week 9 Trade Deadline.
So Far So Flawless
The Eagles are one of two teams entering Week 5 undefeated. Will the week end with the Bills and Eagles at 5-0? One step closer to securing their divisions as quickly as possible?
Starting 4-0 marks the 3rd time in 5 years that the Sirianni/Hurts era Eagles have come out of the gate strong. But will they sustain this quality of inconsistent play through 13 more games? They’ve started slow before with a 2-2 start that resulted in an 12-1 end to the season. Now that they’re through the “gauntlet” of this year, maybe the team will start to figure things out for 4 full quarters.
Injuries Piling Up
After the Rams game, the Eagles placed three players on injured reserve. Including Nolan Smith and Jakorian Bennett. And with Ogbo Okoronkwo expected to miss the rest of the season with a torn triceps during the Buccaneers game, the Eagles defense is slowly getting depleted. Add on that Dallas Goedert continues to intermittently miss practice and the Offensive Line starts to get banged up. It might be a long year ahead.
Approaching The Deadline
With the trade deadline set for November 4th. The Eagles have one month to make any serious additions to the roster before it’s too late.
And with 10 picks coming up in the 2026 draft (7 in the first 4 rounds) the Eagles will have plenty of capital to make their final rounds of roster moves if they wish to remain a contender through 2025.
We’ll see what the Eagles bring to a dip in their strength of schedule. With their next 4 opponents having a combined record of 6-10 (DEN, MIN, NYGx2) when we get to the mid season checkpoint.
Go Birds.
