3. Trey Quinn, wide receiver

On the second day of September, Eagles fans got an early Christmas present. According to head coach Doug Pederson, we can all expect that Fletcher Cox, Ronald Darby, Nigel Bradham, and Brandon Brooks will play on Sunday.

Philly’s corners, the aforementioned Darby, Sidney Jones, Rasul Douglas, and Avonte Maddox, will try to keep Trey Quinn and the rest of the Redskins’ receivers from making plays. Darby’s injury history is well documented, and so is Jones’. They figure to be the guys on the outside, which means Avonte Maddox may have slot duty.

You can also expect to see a lot of Rasul Douglas. He’ll play a major role in 2019.

4. Landon Collins, safety

The name Landon Collins is familiar to the Eagles and their fans. Seeing him in the burgundy and gold of the Redskins will take some getting used to though as he’s left one Eagles rival for another. Trust and believe that he’s still the same guy though.

If the Eagles don’t know where anyone else is on the field, you can trust and believe that Carson Wentz and company will keep close tabs on him. He’s a playmaker and a game wrecker.
