3. Wide Receiving Corps

This is something that goes both ways. The Eagles will enter this game with an injured group of receivers while the Washington Football Team will have many young options. Both quarterbacks will have to be on their game to pull this all together.

Alshon Jeffery has been dealing with an injury and Reagor seems to be weeks away. DeSean Jackson is allegedly healthy after missing time in 2019. This means that young receivers such as Greg Ward and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside will have to step up for the Eagles. In Washington, they have completely reloaded their wide receiver room with young players.

Terry McLaurin has turned into a No. 1 option while Steven Sims is a versatile player offensively. Antonio Gibson will be used in many ways. The status of Antonio Gandy-Golden is up in the air as the rookie has been dealing with a concussion.

Having playmakers on the outside can take an offense to the next level. There will be two completely different skill sets at receiver for both teams. It will be interesting to see which unit will step up and gain the upper hand.
