Commanders Player to Watch

Zach Ertz. The former Eagles tight end who spent his first nine professional seasons with Philadelphia needs three touchdown catches to reach 50 for his career, and he is 185 yards from 8,000 yards receiving. He has become something of a safety valve for rookie QB Jayden Daniels.

Key Matchup

Philadelphia's run game versus Washington's run defense. Eagles RB Saquon Barkley ranks second in the NFL with an average of 110.1 yards a game, while Washington is 28th in the league defensively against the run, allowing 142.7 yards a game.

RT Andrew Wylie (shoulder), who was a late scratch last week, is trending toward playing.

Eagles: Philadelphia activated LT Jordan Mailata (hamstring) off injured reserve. ... Smith (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
