The Philadelphia Eagles came away with a 24-20 Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans in the final seconds, but many players on this roster need help after two games.
Philly has shown incredible depth, which shows on tape. Even so, some starters or backups have shown signs of trouble over two games that could be concerning to monitor for the rest of the season.
Five Eagles players are in too much danger, to the point that they won't be able to improve their performance much and are doomed to down seasons. Which Eagles players feel destined to have bad seasons and might have to live with it?
Who will not be able to bounce back in 2026 after rough starts?
Arnold Ebiketie, EDGE
Ebiketie has played in 43 snaps to start the season, and while he has made four tackles, his impact hasn't been felt. He was a young player who pressured the quarterback well with the Atlanta Falcons, but this season, he has zero pressures, zero hurries, and zero sacks. With Jonathan Greenard coming back soon, Ebiketie's playing time is about to disappear altogether.
Cam Jurgens, C
Not everything has been Jurgens' fault on the offensive line, but three holding penalties in two weeks isn't good, and if he stays at right guard, will things really get better? Maybe he can salvage the season if he moves back to center. Right now, it feels like it'll be a down season for a guy who had so much promise after the 2024 season.
Andrew Mukuba, S
Mukuba is slowly showing progress, but he has had some miscues in coverage and missed tackles early in the season. He still has the potential to be good, but the Eagles need more from him. With Marcus Epps playing only slightly better, Mukuba isn't set up for success at safety this season. That could lead the Eagles to make a move at safety
Makai Lemon, WR
The Eagles have a clear plan for how to use Lemon, and it's not worked at all. Bubble screens won't make this young team successful. Nine yards in two games is not the stat Eagles fans want to see, so something has to change. With DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks becoming Jalen Hurts' top two targets, it's becoming clear that Lemon might not even be WR3 because of Darius Cooper's rise.

Hollywood Brown, WR
Another guy impacted by Cooper's emergence in the lineup, Brown is not being used the way Eagles fans expected. No deep routes for him, just jet sweeps after two rushes for 12 yards in the Titans game. Brown has the potential to be a dangerous weapon in this offense, but the depth at receiver could limit him to only being used as a gadget asset at best.
