Eagles Face Injured Quarterbacks in Next Three Games
The Philadelphia Eagles are set to face three teams over their next three games, with each of the opposing teams dealing with injured starting quarterbacks. The first matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers will feature Justin Herbert, who suffered a fracture in his left hand and underwent surgery on Monday.
Herbert's injury has raised concerns about his ability to play through the pain, as he was seen favoring his non-throwing hand during their Week 13 win over the Raiders. Despite being listed as questionable for their upcoming game against the Eagles, Herbert is expected to start, but could be limited by his injury.
Meanwhile, in Week 15, the Chargers will face the Eagles with Trey Lance under center, after Geno Smith suffered a right shoulder injury and cut on his hand during Sunday's loss to the Broncos. The Raiders' head coach, Pete Carroll, expressed confidence that Smith would start against the Eagles if healthy, but acknowledged that Kenny Pickett was ready to step in.
The Commanders will also face an injured quarterback in Jayden Daniels, who has suffered a series of gruesome injuries throughout his second season, including a wrist injury, knee sprain, hamstring strain, and elbow injury. Despite returning from several injuries, Daniels' performance has been inconsistent, and the team's priority should be to protect him for the rest of the season.
From an Eagles perspective, both of these matchups could play out in their favor, especially with backup quarterbacks showing promise. However, it will be interesting to see how Herbert and Smith are able to perform despite their injuries, and whether Daniels can overcome his own health issues to lead his team to a victory.
