The Eagles are under 21 hours away from kicking off the division opener against the Commanders.
The Birds are a slight favorite and will look to start the season 3-0 with a matchup against Doug Pederson and the Jaguars looming in Week 4.
Jalen Hurts will look to cement his status and a new contract this season, while Jonathan Gannon’s retooled defense will look to continue its strong play after dominating the Vikings on Monday night.
With the team settled in and prepared, here’s an updated look at the 53-man roster with news and notes.
#1 QB Jalen Hurts

Slay has another huge matchup with Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, and Jahan Dotson on the other side.

Smith rebounded from a rough season opener and will look to dictate matchups against a banged-up Washington secondary.
#7 LB Haason Reddick

Reddick will look for his breakout performance as a member of the Eagles.
#8 P Arryn Sippos
![](https://theeagleswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/69/2021/11/Arryn-Siposs.jpg)

![](https://theeagleswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/69/2022/08/USATSI_18906996_168393153_lowres-2.jpg)
The veteran quarterback is in the final year of his rookie deal and gives Philadelphia one of the best insurance policies in football.
