The bye week is here for the Philadelphia Eagles, and after the trade deadline, they can now enjoy a much-needed rest.
They are coming off a 19-11 loss to the New York Giants in Week 9, which was their seventh straight loss. Sitting at 2-7, the Eagles made one trade before the deadline, sending Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick.
It was a surprise, since it was official that every player with a one-year contract or in the final year of their contract wasn't moved. So, how did they do in the Giants game and throughout the week? Here's a quick check-in.
- Moro Ojomo appears to be in Eagles' long-term plans
- Riq Woolen shows improvement in Eagles loss
- Dallas Goedert continues to stay consistent for the Eagles
- Hollywood Brown remains quiet in Eagles' Week 9 loss
Moro Ojomo appears to be in Eagles' long-term plans
There may not be an Eagle on a one-year deal or in the final year of their contract who had a better week than Ojomo. He played well with three tackles, three pressures, one quarterback hit, and one tackle for loss in the Giants game.
Not only that, but he avoided being traded at the deadline and saw his biggest competition, Jordan Davis, get traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ojomo has lined himself up to have a massive contract extension coming his way and will get more playing time in the starting lineup. A pretty good week ofr him.
Riq Woolen shows improvement in Eagles loss
While it wasn't a perfect game for Woolen, it was one of his better ones in the last month. He finished by allowing four receptions on seven targets for 50 yards, while also racking up four tackles and two pass deflections.
It might have been enough for him to not be traded at the deadline and get his wish to stay on the Eagles for the rest of the 2026 season. Woolen showed some of the reasons the Eagles signed him in the offseason, but if he wants to be in Philly next year, he needs to do that on a consistent basis.
Dallas Goedert continues to stay consistent for the Eagles
Goedert isn't putting up crazy numbers for the Eagles, but he's been about as steady of a pass catcher as any on the football team throughout the season. He finished the Giants game with catching five of six targets for 50 yards in the loss.
It's not clear what his future looks like with the Eagles yet, but it does speak volumes that he was not traded. He might have a chance to stick around for a bit.

Hollywood Brown remains quiet in Eagles' Week 9 loss
It was quite surprising that Brown stuck around in Philly since he has not really been involved in the offseason. In the Giants game, he had one receptions for 16 yards.
Many Eagles fans are wondering why Brown was not traded and what the plan is for him. It appears that he might be sticking around for the rest of the season, but if DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks returns from injury, there's no way he will get any playing time.
