5 Eagles to watch against the Washington Football Team

The Eagles return to action on Sept. 13, here are five Eagles to watch in their first game against the Washington Football Team.

Nate Gerry

Two words: Contract year.

But seriously, Nate Gerry has gained the trust of Defensive Coordinator Jim Schwartz. He’s the elder statesmen of the team’s linebacking corps and will find himself on the field for all three downs whether fans like it or not.

We’re genuinely looking forward to watching Gerry play, combine his status in the eye of the coaches, and the fact that he’s playing for a new contract and we could witness a productive season from the fourth-year linebacker.
