The Eagles had a fight on their hands Sunday, but were able to overcome as they took care of NFC East rival Washington by a score of 37-27.
Here’s the highlights:
Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery to Have Surgery for Lisfranc Injury
Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery has been diagnosed with a Lisfranc injury and needs surgery according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.
Jeffery suffered the injury Monday night and has already been placed on injured reserve. While this is better news than the torn Achilles’ tendon initially feared, it is close to a worst-case scenario for a 30-year-old wideout.
Lisfranc injuries are always tricky for wideouts and are especially tricky for wideout on the wrong side of 30. Jeffery should likely be considered questionable for the start of training camp in July.
Frequently injured throughout his career, Jeffery has had a miserable 2019 with only 490 yards and four touchdowns in ten games. Fortunately for him, the Eagles restructured his contract and guaranteed his $11.5 million salary for 2020-a move they may regret.
The Eagles top priority during the offseason needs to be completely restructuring their wide receiver corps.

Pederson indicated that Halapoulivaati Vaitai would start at right tackle in the event that Johnson can’t play. Pederson also mentioned reserve Matt Pryor as an option.

Doug Pederson “Disgusted” After Awful Loss to the Dolphins Sunday
The Eagles lost 37-31 to the Dolphins on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium. This is the team’s third straight loss, dropping their record to 5-7 with four games left.
Coach Doug Pederson told the SportsRadio 94WIP Morning Show earlier today that he is “disgusted, mad, and angry” about Sunday’s 37-31 loss to the Miami Dolphins, Phildadelphiaeagles.com reports.
Pederson admitted that the Dolphins “played harder” than the Eagles, who had a chance to tie the Dallas Cowboys for first place in the NFC East with a win.
Immediately after the game, Pederson cited the team’s inconsistency, penalties, and lack of execution – especially offensively on third down – for the defeat.
