D’Andre Swift had a career-high 175 rushing yards and a touchdown, while some timely defensive stops were enough to give the Eagles a 34-28 victory at Lincoln Financial Field.
After a slow first-half start, All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurts ran for a pair of 1-yard touchdowns and threw a 63-yard dime to DeVonta Smith for a touchdown to help widen the lead.
Buy Eagles TicketsThe Eagles have started preparation for a Monday night matchup against the Buccaneers, and we’re looking at the Week 3 stock report.
Stock up -- D'Andre Swift
Swift logged a career-high 175-yards and a touchdown in the win over Minnesota and he’s cleary the lead running back.
Stock down --Rashaad Penny
Even with Kenneth Gainwell out, Penny saw just nine snaps in the win over Minnesota and he’s cleary the No. 4 running back on the depth chart.
WR -- Olamide Zaccheaus
Zaccheaus had a limited role prior to Quez Watkins suffering an injury and he’ll look to increase his production.
Stock up -- Jalen Carter
Carter isn’t a starter and only played 28 snaps in Week 2, but he’s still among the league leaders in pressures as a rookie.

Stock down -- Nolans Smith
Rookie Jalen Carter has hit the ground running, but Nolan Smith saw only six snaps in Week 2 and he’s been a slow progression after flashing during training camp.
Smith suffered a shoulder injury in training camp and he’ll look to see his usage rate increase.
Stock up -- Nicholas Morrow
After being a training camp cut, Morrow logged 55 snaps at middle linebacker in the win over Minnesota.
Stock down --Christian Elliss
Elliss saw just four snaps in Week 2 and he’s been overtaken by Nicholas Morrow and Zach Cunningham after starring in training camp.
Stock up -- Justin Evans
Evans led the Eagles in snaps with Reed Blankenship out and he’ll continue in his role as a starter at safety.
Stock down --Kentavius Street
Street played six snaps in Week 2 and he’s unlikely to move up the Eagles 9 man defensive line rotation.
Stock up --Josh Sweat
Josh Sweat logged one tackle, one sack and five quarterback hits in the win over Minnesota.
