The Eagles opened as three-point favorites for their game in Tennessee and some gambling sites now have Philadelphia favored by four points. It’s not difficult to see why the reigning Super Bowl champions are favored here. Yeah Cheap Cameron Johnston Jersey , the Titans just beat the Jaguars in Jacksonville, but it was a very close and ugly game with a final score of 9 to 6. Moreover, the Titans’ quarterback situation is not ideal right now. Blaine Gabbert had to start last week with Marcus Mariota still dealing with a pinched nerve in his elbow. When Gabbert got knocked out of the game, Mariota was thrust into action and actually did OK for a guy who lacks feeling in his fingers. The Oregon Ducks alumnus completed 12 of his 18 attempts for 100 yards, zero touchdowns, zero interceptions Cheap Sidney Jones Jersey , and a 80.8 passer rating. He also contributed with seven rushing attempts for 51 yards. But Mariota’s limitations were clear and they might continue to be a problem moving forward. Check out these Rotoworld write-ups:As we saw in Week 2, Jim Schwartz’s defense has had issues playing away from the home confines of Lincoln Financial Field. Since 2016, the Eagles are allowing 27.5 points per game in road tilts. With Mariota being less than 100%, though, this could be an opportunity for the Eagles to reverse that trend, at least for one week.Elsewhere Youth Ronald Darby Jersey , the Eagles might be getting some good news on the injury front this week. It seems like Alshon Jeffery might have a shot to return against the Titans. Jay Ajayi and Darren Sproles are also expected to return to practice this week in some capacity. And then there’s the fact Carson Wentz is back under center for the Eagles. He looked a little rusty in his first game played since December 2017 but he also showed plenty of encouraging signs that bode well for the Eagles moving forward.
The Titans have played teams tough this year. Their only defeat so far is a one-possession loss to a 3-0 Dolphins team on the road in Miami. I don’t expect them to just lay down and take a beating.With that said, there’s rightful reason for the Eagles to be favored this week.Jason Peters injury update following Eagles vs. Giants Eagles starting left tackle Jason Peters suffered a biceps injury that caused him to leave Philadelphia’s 34-13 win over the New York Giants early on Thursday evening.Doug Pederson didn’t give much of an update on his status after the game, but Peters did tell reporters that he’s “OK.”While it’s good to see Peters say this, his assessment needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Remember how Rodney McLeod said he felt fine after the Eagles’ Week 3 game but it was later discovered he suffered a torn MCL? The good news is we’re hearing Peters might be OK to play through his biceps injury. From NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Derrick Gunn:It’s unclear exactly when the MRI will take place but you can bet Pederson will be asked about Peters’ status during his noon press conference today. So hopefully we’ll find out more then. If not, stay tuned for more reports on Peters’ status.In the meantime, here’s some more medical context on Peters’ injury from former NFL team doctor David Chao:In other injury news Cheap Carson Wentz Jersey , Pederson said Lane Johnson could’ve stayed in the game last night if the Eagles really needed him to play. Philadelphia took their starting right tackle out once they had built a comfortable lead over the Giants. Now Johnson will have a chance to rest up before the Eagles play against the Panthers on Sunday, October 21.Sidney Jones also got banged up in the Eagles’ Thursday night game. The team’s slot cornerback had to leave early with a hamstring issue. There’s been no word on his status. Once again, stay tuned to BGN for more updates.
