Eagles 'season from hell' tracker
Key Points:
- The Philadelphia Eagles started their 2026 season 2-0 but quickly faced multiple injuries and roster challenges, including key players Landon Dickerson, Dallas Goedert, DeVonta Smith, and Saquon Barkley missing significant time.
- Questionable lineup decisions, such as moving Cam Jurgens to left guard and starting Drew Kendall at center, contributed to poor performances, notably a blowout loss to the Bears and a blown fourth-quarter lead against the Rams.
- The team experienced significant instability at quarterback, demoting Andy Dalton and promoting Tanner McKee, before ultimately releasing Dalton and placing star QB Jalen Hurts on injured reserve due to a serious blood clot, effectively ending his season.
- The Eagles suffered critical late-game losses, including a narrow defeat to the Jaguars in London after a kickoff return led to a walkoff field goal, and a home loss to the Panthers, highlighting the team's struggles amid injuries and roster upheaval.
- Off-field issues arose, such as Hurts playing on little sleep despite medical advice, and the surprising retirement of veteran Lane Johnson, further complicating the Eagles' hopes for a successful 2026 campaign.
