The 4-10-1 Eagles will end their 2020 regular season on Sunday Night Football against the Washington Football Team.
For Washington, a win gets them into the playoffs, while the Eagles appear to now be embracing the tank after ruling 9 players out for Sunday’s matchup.
Jeff McLane of The Inquirer is reporting that head coach Doug Pederson is considering making Carson Wentz inactive, thus allowing Nate Sudfeld to be the backup to Jalen Hurts.
Pederson is also considering not dressing quarterback Carson Wentz and if current starter Jalen Hurts and the Eagles were to struggle, play third-stringer Nate Sudfeld in the second half, NFL sources said. A loss would mean the Eagles would have anywhere from the No. 3-6 pick in next year’s draft. A win and they would be choosing anywhere from No. 7-10.
Philadelphia is staring at a scenario where they’ll pick anywhere from No. 6, to as high as No. 3 with some help.
An Eagles win could drop the Birds as low as No. 10, possibly jeopardizing the opportunity to land Ja’Marr Chase, Patrick Surtain II, or DeVonta Smith.
