The Philadelphia Eagles are 5-2 entering Week 9. On Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars, led by Doug Pederson, will march to Lincoln Financial Field. They are 2-6 and on the brink of complete disaster.

The Eagles are trying to extend their win streak to four games and are rolling. As they prepare for this cross-conference, the injury report was released on Friday. DeVonta Smith showed up and was absent from Friday’s session.

According to Eliot Shorr-Parks, Smith did not practice for personal reasons. It wasn’t listed as an injury, so his status for Sunday is likely clear.

Since Smith wasn’t on the injury report all week, this isn’t something for Eagles fans to worry about. The Alabama product has been a reliable playmaker for the Eagles this season. He has 31 receptions for 386 yards and three touchdowns in 2024. The 25-year-old has racked up more than 60 receiving yards in five games this year.

The Eagles’ aerial attack has a chance to dominate as Jacksonville ranks 29th in pass defense (382.1). That’s music to the ears of Philadelphia fans, as the team has scored more than 28 times in consecutive games.

Since their bye in Week 5, the team has played with a different kind of energy. That was what they needed and it looked like they had found a nice twist. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Eagles are 7.5-point favorites in Week 9.

See if they appear aggressive and lean on Smith as they normally do.
