Eagles Prep for 2025—QB Depth Tested as Star Guard’s Injury Sparks Concern

The Philadelphia Eagles head into the new season with one of the most intriguing rosters in the NFL, a team stacked with proven veterans and ascending young talent. After a roller-coaster campaign last year that ended short of their ultimate goal, the Birds are determined to recalibrate and reclaim their place among the league’s elite.

General Manager Howie Roseman once again showcased his knack for roster building, adding depth across both lines of scrimmage while ensuring the offensive core remains intact. With Jalen Hurts under center, the Eagles’ offensive ceiling remains high. His dual-threat ability, combined with a receiving duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, gives Philadelphia one of the most dangerous passing attacks in football. Behind a dominant offensive line led by Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson, the run game will continue to be a foundation of their identity.

Defensively, the Eagles face the challenge of replacing departed veterans but are leaning heavily on young draft picks and second-year standouts to step into bigger roles. The addition of key free agents has bolstered the secondary, but consistency will be crucial if Philadelphia wants to contain the NFC’s elite quarterbacks.

The NFC East has grown more competitive, with the Cowboys pushing for division dominance and the Giants continuing their rebuild. But for the Eagles, the focus is internal: staying healthy, keeping their offensive rhythm, and building a defense capable of making big stops in crucial moments.

Philadelphia’s fanbase, known for its passion and intensity, expects nothing less than another deep playoff run. The question is whether this version of the Eagles can withstand the pressure, embrace the grind, and deliver when it matters most. With Hurts’ leadership, Roseman’s roster moves, and the unwavering support of the Philly faithful, the Eagles once again carry the weight of championship aspirations.
