Eagles’ updated 53-man roster vs. Commanders: News and notes for Week 8

We’re over 30 hours away from the Eagles (6-1) and Commanders (3-4) getting together at FedEx Field for a bitter NFC East matchup.

Philadelphia is surging after a 31-17 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night, while Washington is 3-4, and even after a terrible loss to the Giants last week, Ron Rivera’s team is still 1.5 games out of the final NFC playoff spot.

The Eagles made more big news this week, acquiring free safety Kevin Byard from the Titans for Terrell Edmunds and draft picks.

With kickoff fast approaching, here’s Philadelphia’s updated 53-man roster after several moves.
