The Washington Commanders (1-4-1) face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football from Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, at 8:20 p.m. EDT in Week 8.

The Commanders are 6-point favorites entering Sunday’s matchup, according to BetMGM, and with the injuries throughout the Eagles' roster, it's not really a surprise that most people think the Commanders will win.

He will at least be out for a significant amount of time.
