Eagles news: Tank Bigsby to IR, more injury updates; Brandon Graham's comments twisted; Foles on Hurts' struggles

Nick Sirianni did not have an update Monday on the status of Saquon Barkley, who left Sunday's game after four plays with a hamstring injury.

Sirianni said Barkley and other injured Eagles were going through testing and treatment and more information would be available on Wednesday, when the team has its first practice and issues its first injury report ahead of its Week 5 game.

"I know he’ll do everything he can do to get himself back," Sirianni said of Barkley.

After the Eagles took an early lead Sunday, they were held scoreless in the second half.

The Eagles struggled offensively, with both their touchdowns coming after the defense and special teams gifted them great field position — their two touchdown drives combined for just 52 yards. They finished the game 0-for-12 on third downs; dating back to the Bears game, they have now failed on 17 straight third-down attempts. The Eagles also added two more failed fourth-down attempts in the second half Sunday — first on a fourth-and-1 at their own 38-yard line late in the third quarter, and then on a fourth-and-goal at the Rams’ two-yard line in the fourth quarter that would’ve likely iced the game.

On ESPN’s Get Up show, Domonique Foxworth was asked what’s wrong with the team’s offense.

The Eagles are a team coming off two losses in the last week — first on Monday night in Chicago and then again Sunday at home against the Rams.

Meanwhile, the Jaguars (3-1) are coming off two straight wins — a 35-6 rout of the New England Patriots, followed by a 22-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Now, the two teams will travel to London for their Week 5 matchup. They last played each other in November 2024, when the Eagles defeated the Jaguars at home in a game that is remembered more for one specific play than the actual result: Saquon Barkley’s iconic backward hurdle.

You asked for a more emotive Jalen Hurts. You got it.

Last week, Hurts was seen on the sideline cussing out officials and doctors for making him take a concussion test during the game. Backup quarterback Andy Dalton threw an end-zone interception while Hurts was off the field. Hurts was cleared almost immediately.

Then, on Sunday, he was caught screaming at receiver Elijah Moore for lining up improperly before a first-quarter snap: “Get off the [bleeping] ball!”

Eagles fans and team owner Jeffrey Lurie have one thing in common: both are happy the Eagles are not losing out on a home game to play in London.

The Jaguars, London's de facto home team, are hosting next week's game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This past Sunday, the Commanders "hosted" the Colts in London. Commanders owner Josh Harris offered a blunt response to reporters when asked about the economic impact of being the home team in London.

“It’s not good,” Harris, who also owns the Sixers, told Sportico. “It’s bad in a lot of ways, but I’m not so much focused on economics, honestly. I’m focused on being part of the NFL community and growing the game internationally.”

The Eagles loss to the Los Angeles Rams Sunday spanned the entire team, everything from the lack of an offensive identify to the defensive failing to come up with a stop.

Super Bowl LII MVP Nick Foles also showed there were opportunities for big plays Sunday that Jalen Hurts missed because of timing and progression issues.

"We watched Case Keenum against the Eagles on Monday Night Football do this every single play. On time and in rhythm," Foles said on The SZN podcast he co-hosts with Evan Moore. "[Hurts has] got to take that next stop in his progressions.

By now, you’re well aware of how bad the Eagles have been in third quarters. They entered Sunday with eight three-and-outs on 11 third-quarter drives.

Here’s how their third-quarter possessions went on Sunday:

Yikes.

Jonathan Greenard was slated to see an uptick in snaps Sunday after the Eagles had him on a pitch count last week in his first game back from the pectoral injury that forced him to miss all of training camp. But Greenard’s snap count increased by just one on Sunday, from 18 to 19, as the veteran edge rusher left the game with an ankle injury and did not return.

Greenard was effective before leaving. He had three pressures on 16 pass rushes, and one of them led to Matthew Stafford’s errant throw that Andrew Mukuba picked off.

Greenard left in the third quarter, and his absence meant a lot of work for Nolan Smith (64 snaps, 76%) and Jalyx Hunt (63, 75%). Arnold Ebiketie also saw his highest workload so far this season (21, 25%).

Stop me if you've heard this one before: you can't trust what you read on social media.

Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams put Lane Johnson's absence in the spotlight. The All-Pro offensive lineman was a late scratch for the game, which head coach Nick Sirianni attributed to a "personal matter."

Speaking on PHLY's postgame show, former Eagles defender Brandon Graham expressed frustration about his former teammate's absence.

Things aren't going to get any easier for the Eagles this week, as they head out to London to face the first-place Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday in Week 5 (9:30 a.m., NFL Network).

The Jaguars are 3-1 coming off a 22-17 win on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals and have the NFL's best record over their past 12 games.

They are 16-5 under second-year head coach Liam Coen, lead the AFC in point differential (plus-51), and quarterback Trevor Lawrence is having the best season of his career. Meanwhile, the Eagles' point differential is minus-18.

The Jacksonville Jaguars boast one of the best scoring defenses in the league. They have allowed just 53 points this season, which is the second fewest in the NFL and the team’s fewest through four games since 2007, when they conceded just 41.

They’re up to six interceptions through four games, which is tied for the NFL lead going into Monday night.

They might look to the Rams for inspiration for their defensive game plan against the Eagles. The Rams entered Sunday’s game as the most blitz-heavy team in the league on third-and-long (7+ yards) at a 69.2% rate, according to Next Gen Stats. Hurts was blitzed on every third down drop back (11 of 12 drop backs) except for the final attempt, as the Rams generated six pressures and a sack on those blitzes.

The Eagles offense may have been held scoreless in the second half of their 24-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night, but the defense still pointed the finger at themselves for allowing the Rams’ fourth-quarter comeback.

With eight minutes, 17 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the Rams’ win probability reached its lowest point at 3.2%, according to Next Gen Stats. The Eagles were up, 20-10, and faced a third-and-goal on the 2-yard line.

But they failed to score on consecutive plays, turning the ball over deep in Rams territory. The Rams went on to score touchdowns on back-to-back series. Matthew Stafford completed 12 of 15 passes for 140 yards on his final two drives, and the Eagles helped him out by committing penalties, too.

The New York Giants moved into first place in the NFC East thanks to their 36-24 win against the Arizona Cardinals, capped by Deonte Banks' 98-yard pick-6 to seal the victory.

The Cowboys are tied with the Eagles in second place after coming back to defeat the Houston Texans 34-30 Sunday.

The Washington Commanders dropped to 1-3 thanks to their 30-13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in London.
