The Philadelphia Eagles cannot afford another setback.

They need to make the most of the two Dallas Cowboys losses to secure the No. 1 spot in the division and the second seed in the conference.

Notably, even though they’re banged up and haven’t been playing well as of late, one would expect that they shouldn’t find much trouble getting past the ever-struggling Arizona Cardinals.

Nonetheless, insider Tim McManus reported that they likely will be without two key players.

Zach Cunningham has been downgraded to doubtful and Albert Okwuegbunam has already been ruled out of Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury.

The Eagles had the best record in the league for most of the season, but the fans still weren’t convinced after watching them barely win and having to come back from behind multiple times throughout the course of the year.

They got exposed by the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers in back-to-back weeks, and while they were able to bounce back, there are still several doubts about Jalen Hurts’ health and regression, and their defense hasn’t been nearly as dominant as they were last year under Jonathan Gannon.

Gannon will now be on the other side of the field, this time coaching Kyler Murray and the Cardinals, and judging by some of the things some Eagles players said about him once he left, it wouldn’t be shocking to see him having this game marked in his calendar for months now.

Will he be able to get back at his former team? Right now, health might be on his side.
