The Philadelphia Eagles enter their Week 6 matchup against the Carolina Panthers dealing with major roster disruptions and a three-game losing streak. Starting quarterback Jalen Hurts has been ruled out due to a blood clot in his calf, prompting backup quarterback Tanner McKee to make the start at Lincoln Financial Field. Running back Saquon Barkley has also been ruled out with a hamstring injury.
