Eagles news: Latest on Jalen Hurts and ESPN's changing report; Brandon Graham on Nick Sirianni's future; injury updates

The Washington Commanders are touchdown underdogs Monday night in San Francisco, and if they lose, the NFC East will become the first division since the AFL-NFL merger to have all of its teams play in consecutive weeks without winning, according to the Associated Press.

Yeah, the division appears to be that bad this season.

The Giants lead at 3-2-1 and the Eagles and Cowboys — who play each other next Monday in Philadelphia — are behind them at 2-4 with the Commanders in the basement at 1-3-1 heading into Monday night.

With Jalen Hurts on injured reserve as he deals with a blood clot in his calf, the soonest he could be back with the Eagles would be Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

There was some confusion over the weekend over his status. Saturday morning, ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Hurts wasn't expected to be placed on injured reserve, leaving open the possibility of him returning sooner. That changed a few hours later, with the duo reporting the move by the Eagles.

So what changed?

Former Eagles defender turned NFL analyst Brandon Graham thinks Nick Sirianni's future in Philly could be in jeopardy of the Birds head coach isn't able to turn things around.

"I love Nick, but I can just see the writing on the wall if things don't go good this year," Graham said on PHLY's postgame show Sunday. "We all know down years happen, but the wave now is get these coordinators as head coaches."

"And with Nick being relieved of his duties of calling plays," it leaves him vulnerable to being replaced by an up-and-coming offensive coordinator, Graham added.

If you want a sliver of good news, the Eagles scored more points than the Cowboys did Sunday night.

Dallas lost to the Green Bay Packers 23-13 at Lambeau Field last night, and now travel to South Philly to face the Eagles in Week 7 in primetime on ESPN's Monday Night Football.

It's a matchup that's lost a bit of luster. Both teams enter the game with a 2-4 record, and the high-powered Dallas offense has sputtered through the season. Dak Prescott and the Cowboys have only managed more than 20 points twice all season, and their only touchdown last night came with just 44 seconds on the clock and the game out of reach.

The NFL was considering flexing the Eagles (2-4) out of primetime before Jalen Hurts was placed on injured reserve due to a blood clot in his leg.

Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers certainly won't help the Birds' case.

As it stands now, the two-win Eagles are set to face the one-win Washington Commanders (1-3-1) in Week 8 on NBC's Sunday Night Football. Even with Hurts, the Eagles weren't exactly must-see TV on offense, and that didn't change much with Tanner McKee under center.

Jordan Mailata stood in the center of the locker room, his game jersey still soaked and eye black dripping down his face, and loudly shouted toward reporters that he was ready for questions.

He hadn’t even stopped at his locker yet. Clearly he was eager to get his message out.

Shortly after the Eagles’ 25-14 loss to the Panthers — their fourth loss in a row — the All-Pro tackle held court in the quiet dressing room, fielding questions for nearly 30 minutes about what, exactly, is going wrong with the 2026 Eagles.

Despite four-straight losses, the Eagles have as much of a shot as anyone to win the NFC East.

The New York Giants remain in first place in the NFL East, despite losing to the New Orleans Saints Sunday.

The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Green Bay Packers Sunday night, dropping them back into the tie with the Eagles.
