The Eagles and Washington are finally set for their Week 15 matchup and both 53-man rosters will look slightly different after a COVID-19 outbreak impacted both teams.
Jalen Hurts is back in the lineup for Philadelphia, along with Miles Sanders, Jordan Howard, and a motivated wide receivers group.
Here’s the 53-man roster for Tuesday’s huge matchup with news and notes.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (1) in the first half. The Giants defeat the Eagles, 13-7, at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 28, 2021, in East Rutherford.

Hurts will see his first game action in nearly a month and it’ll be a huge Tuesday night matchup against an embattled Washington defense. Hurts will look to re-establish his presence as the leader of Philadelphia’s offense.
New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore (8) cannot complete a pass with pressure from Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (2) in the second half. The Eagles defeat the Jets, 33-18, at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Dec. 5, 2021, in East Rutherford.

Slay is having one of the most consistent seasons of his career and he’s headed for a Pro Bowl appearance this season. He can solidify this season by locking down Terry McLaurin.
