The Eagles will take advantage of an opportunity to let some of their younger players see some action. Injuries could sideline a number of veterans.
Stewart Bradley will see some action because starter Takeo Spikes is out for the season with a torn rotator cuff. Bradley is big and physical. The Birds hope he'll help them force more turnovers in the future.
Correll Buckhalter may leave the doore open for Tony Hunt. Hunt who missed a blitzing DeMarcus Ware in the Dallas game, will need to block better to earn the confidence of Donovan and Andy. I want to see if he can help them with some power running in the red zone.
L.J. Smith and Matt Schobel are giving Brent Celek a chance to nail down next year's starting tight end position. Celek's catch in the last drive to help seal the victory won't hurt him when the coaching staff starts thinking about next year.
