I also read that Zay Jones is nursing an ankle injury and hasn't practiced the last few days.  That would really hurt if he can't play. 

I think we're capable of winning, but I also think the Eagles are a little better than we are.  They're also playing at home.

I don't like this matchup.  They have "Go Get It" big play receivers and in the last few minutes against the skins our corners gave up big plays over the top.  I think it comes down to helping Herndon and williams and Tyson is going to have to make plays at the top of routes.  

On offense, zay is playing well but schematically he's not a take the top off the defense game changer.  In our scheme if that means Agnew or Tim jones is running a quick out or deep over I don't think ull see much of a drop off.  Moreover, I think Engram is waiting for a breakout in this offense anyway!
