Philadelphia Eagles @ Jacksonville Jaguars Preview
The Philadelphia Eagles i Jacksonville Jaguars head to london for week 5 NFL on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Eagles look to bounce back from a narrow loss to the Los Angeles Rams, while Jacksonville comes to the Capitals after an impressive road win against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Jaguars started the season with a win over the Cleveland Browns and have also defeated the New England Patriots and Bengals, leaving them in a strong position in the AFC South.
Philadelphia have endured a difficult fortnight after winning their first two games.
Nick Sirianni’s team was defeated 27-7 by the Chicago Bears in Week 3 before suffering a 24-20 home loss against the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday.
Philadelphia’s injury woes are Sirianni’s biggest concern ahead of Sunday’s game.
Running back Saquon Barkley is dealing with a hamstring injury and is expected to miss, while wide receiver DeVonta Smith is also unlikely to appear after missing the loss to the Rams.
Hollywood Brown has been battling an ankle problem and Dontayvion Wicks suffered a hamstring injury during the week, further reducing Hurts’ options in the passing game.
Tight end Dallas Goedert has been limited in practice with a knee problem, though he remains hopeful of being available.
The offensive line is another major concern. Drew Kendall missed practice with a knee injury, while Fred Johnson was limited.
On defense, Jonathan Greenard, Marcus Epps, Zack Baun and Jihaad Campbell have been dealing with injuries, though cornerback Quinyon Mitchell returned to full practice Thursday.
