Eagles unofficial depth chart ahead of wild card matchup vs. Buccaneers

The Eagles have a chance to write a new chapter on this season, and the journey will start at Raymond James Stadium against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-8) on ESPN’s Monday Night Football.

It’ll be a rematch of a Week 3 clash that also took place on a Monday night, as Philadelphia came away with a 25-11 win that wasn’t as close as the score indicated.

On that night in September, the Eagles ran for 201 yards, and Hurts passed for 277, dominating the time of possession. It started an identity crisis for Philadelphia, as they struggled going 1-for-5 in the red zone.

The Eagles’ defense limited Tampa Bay to 41 rushing yards, forced two takeaways, and held Mayfield to 146 passing yards with two quarterback sacks.

With kickoff fast approaching, here’s an updated depth chart for Monday night courtesy of Philadelphia’s PR staff.
