4. 2020 has become a rebuilding year

Carson Wentz and Jason Kelce are the only two Eagles starters currently available on the offensive side of the ball. Right tackle Lane Johnson continues to deal with an ankle issue, and he’ll likely miss Sunday while his replacement at right tackle, rookie Jack Driscoll, left the Ravens game with an ankle injury of his own, and he could be out as well.

Right guard Matt Pryor missed the game after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after being in close contact with someone who tested positive. Jamon Brown and Sua Opeta are two of the top options to replace him.

The Eagles at some point will have to decide if they want to chase a division title or focus on 2021 while getting the inexperienced guys plenty of work.
