Who would replace Darius Slay, Zach Cunningham, and Cam Jurgens in the Eagles lineup?

We expect Josh Jobe to get the Week 15 start in Slay's absence though Eli Ricks and Kelee Ringo are hanging around. Shaq Leonard and Ben VanSumeren should get some burn in place of Cunningham. Sua Opeta figures to start in place of the injured Jurgens.

When will Darius Slay, Zach Cunningham, and Cam Jurgens be back in the Eagles lineup?

Though no one can ever be certain of recovery times (and even though Nick Sirianni will never give us one), the expectation and/or hope is none of these injuries should keep these guys out of action for long. Fingers are crossed that all three will be back next week.

Eagles next three opponents

Three games remain. The Week 17 'Jonathan Gannon Bowl' is sandwiched between home and road dates versus the rival New York Giants.
