Eagles face Jacksonville with injuries piling up

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 22:19 · Archive

The Philadelphia Eagles are dealing with multiple injuries to key starters ahead of their game against Jacksonville.

The Philadelphia Eagles are dealing with significant injuries to key starters as they head to London to face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The team's roster has been considerably depleted, and a new offensive coordinator is off to a difficult start, whilst head coach Nick Sirianni faces increasing criticism.

Sirianni remains defiant about the team's prospects. 'This is life in the NFL, and we will do the things that we can control to put ourselves in the best position to win against a very good football team,' he said, adding that he would not use circumstances as excuses.

The coach has weathered similar challenges before. Two years ago, Sirianni faced chants of 'Fire Nick!' from Philadelphia fans during a narrow victory over the Cleveland Browns when the Eagles' record stood at 3-2. Despite nationwide mockery from television analysts, Sirianni kept his job and went on to lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl, where they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs. That team was bolstered by Saquon Barkley's record-setting running, Jalen Hurts' steady performance in Kellen Moore's offence and Vic Fangio's defence.
