Philadelphia Eagles face Washington Commanders amid quarterback change

The Philadelphia Eagles will face the Washington Commanders in a Week 8 matchup, marked by a significant shift in the Eagles' quarterback position. Tanner McKee has been named the starter for the remainder of the season following Jalen Hurts being placed on injured reserve due to blood clots in his lungs. While veteran Andy Dalton remains the second option, McKee is expected to lead the offense through the end of the season.

The Eagles enter the game with a 2-5 record following a five-game losing streak. Their injury report includes several notable players, such as wide receiver DeVonta Smith and running back Saquon Barkley, who were listed as non-participants in early practice sessions.

The Washington Commanders enter the contest following a bye week, currently holding a 1-4-1 record. The matchup features German-born offensive lineman Brandon Coleman, who has recorded the most snaps this season for Washington.
