1. Jordan Hicks should play in week seven’s final game.

Next up for the Eagles is a Monday night game against the Washington Redskins. In week six, starting middle linebacker Jordan Hicks was unable to complete yet another game. Coach says he’s okay though, so we expect him to practice in a limited role and then be activated for the next game.

2. We probably aren’t done with the rotation at left guard.

In the offseason, Chance Warmack was added, and then he was deactivated in favor of second-year veteran Isaac Seumalo. Then, Seumalo struggled and Warmack was inserted into the lineup. Right after that, Stefen Wisniewski looked a little better in the lineup. Controversy soon followed.

Here we are, and after seeing Wisniewski remain in the lineup against Carolina, we’ve now heard from Pederson the rotation may continue. Philly’s coaching staff figured it was smart to leave one guy in with Carolina giving so many defensive looks. The theory was it would create consistency and allow the offensive line to gel. That makes sense, but if that’s true, why continue the rotation going forward? This one doesn’t seem to be close to being over.
