The Eagles have landed in Tampa Bay and the 7th seed in the NFC playoffs will look to pull off a massive upset on the road when they battle Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.
The defending Super Bowl champs will be without several key players, including Leonard Fournette, but they’ll LaVonte David back on defense, and Rob Gronkowski available on offense.
For Philadelphia, the NFL’s leaders in rushing will have a full supply of healthy running backs with Miles Sanders and Jordan Howard both having no injury designation.
Josh Sweat is questionable and the Eagles made five roster moves on Saturday. Here’s your updated 53-man roster for Sunday’s Super Wild Card Weekend matchup.
