Philadelphia Eagles: 3 Players to watch vs. Colts in Week 3
By Carl Naimoli
The Philadelphia Eagles are heading into Week 3 with many questions. The good news is star quarterback Carson Wentz is back and ready to right the ship.
It’s Week 3 of the regular season for the Philadelphia Eagles. They head into their matchup against the Indianapolis Colts with a 1-1 record. After a solid home win against Atlanta and a lackluster performance on the road in Tampa Bay, the Eagles are in need of boost.
This week, they face Andrew Luck and the 1-1 Colts. The Colts are looking to get back to the playoffs this season, something they haven’t done since 2014. One of the main reasons for that has been the injuries of their starting quarterback.
For the first time in a long time, Luck appears to be healthy. And when he is healthy, he’s one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. If he can hone the skills of his early years, this will be a tough game for the Eagles.
The Colts also have a familiar face on their coaching staff. Former Eagles offensive coordinator Frank Reich has taken over the reigns as head coach for this Colts team. He has a lot of knowledge about this Eagles offense and will be prepared to use whatever he needs to head back to Indianapolis with a victory.
The Eagles are hampered with injuries this week, so it won’t be a walkover like many people expected it would be when the schedule was released in the off-season. The good news for the Eagles is they’ll have an injury-riddled quarterback of their own back in action this week: Carson Wentz.
That’s exactly where we’ll start for this matchup. Here are the three players to watch vs. the Colts.
