The Eagles (10-2) return to Lincoln Financial Field for an intriguing matchup against the improving Carolina Panthers (3-9).
The record may not indicate as such, but Dave Canales’s team has continuously improved weekly. Philadelphia’s most significant concern could come from a Panthers defense that can get after the passer.
While speaking to the media on Friday, Caronlina’s head coach confirmed that Jadeveon Clowney will play on Sunday despite a knee injury.

Clowney has had five quarterback hits in the last two games and six tackles for loss in the previous six.
The Carolina defense is strong on the edges, with defensive end A’Shawn Robinson ranking seventh in solo tackles among defensive linemen since 2016. In last week’s loss, Robinson also added six total tackles and one tackle for loss, his fifth game in a row with at least five tackles.
Robinson leads all defensive linemen in total tackles this season (59).
