Quarterback: Jalen Hurts plays every offensive snap
Offensive snaps: Jalen Hurts — 62 (100%).
Hurts completed 21 of 40 passes for 220 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. His 62-yard touchdown pass to Darius Cooper supplied Philadelphia’s
biggest offensive play, but the Eagles managed only three second-half points. The full workload produced another uneven performance as Philadelphia struggled to sustain drives and finish the game.
Running back: Dameon Pierce takes over after Will Shipley exits
Offensive snaps: Dameon Pierce — 48 (77%); Will Shipley — 13 (21%).
Pierce carried 11 times for 14 yards and caught two passes for minus-2 yards. Shipley had five carries for 6 yards and a 2-yard touchdown before leaving with a foot injury. Philadelphia finished with only 22 rushing yards.
The Eagles couldn't generate enough on the ground to take pressure off Hurts, leaving another position group with significant questions heading into Week 6.
Wide receiver: Darius Cooper supplies the explosive play
Offensive snaps: Darius Cooper — 53 (85%); Dontayvion Wicks — 52 (84%); Makai Lemon — 50 (81%); Elijah Moore — 12 (19%).
Cooper caught two passes for 71 yards and a touchdown. Wicks finished with five receptions for 63 yards, while Lemon added five catches for 43 yards.
Philadelphia leaned heavily on its leading three receivers, with each playing at least 50 snaps. Cooper delivered the long touchdown, while Wicks contributed important third-down catches on the possession that ended with Shipley’s score.
Tight end: Dallas Goedert leads a four-player rotation
Offensive snaps: Dallas Goedert — 43 (69%); Johnny Mundt — 20 (32%); E.J. Jenkins — 12 (19%); Zach Ertz — seven (11%).
Goedert caught six passes for 38 yards in his return, including a 17-yard reception during Philadelphia’s late scoring drive. Mundt and Ertz caught no passes.
Goedert immediately reclaimed the largest offensive role at the position. Jenkins also played 23 special teams snaps, making his contribution in that phase substantially larger than his offensive workload.
Offensive line: Tyler Steen returns after shoulder injury
Offensive snaps: Jordan Mailata, Markel Bell, Jake Majors and Willie Lampkin — 62 each (100%); Tyler Steen — 48 (77%); Fred Johnson — 14 (23%).
Steen missed most of the third quarter with a shoulder injury before returning in the fourth. Johnson logged 14 offensive snaps, while the other four primary linemen played the entire game.
Philadelphia allowed one sack, but the running game remained the larger concern. Despite continuity across most of the line, the Eagles finished with only 22 rushing yards and could not establish a dependable ground attack.
Defensive tackle: Jalen Carter delivers two strip-sacks
Defensive snaps: Jalen Carter — 58 (81%); Moro Ojomo — 42 (58%); Jordan Davis — 35 (49%); Byron Young — 18 (25%); Ty Robinson — two (3%).
Carter recorded two sacks, two forced fumbles, and three tackles for loss. Jacksonville recovered both fumbles, but Carter repeatedly disrupted Trevor Lawrence and supplied Philadelphia’s most productive pass-rushing performance.
He led the interior rotation with 58 snaps. Ojomo and Davis handled the next-largest workloads, while Robinson played considerably more on special teams, logging 17 snaps in that phase.
Edge rusher: Jalyx Hunt’s injury changes the rotation
Defensive snaps: Nolan Smith Jr. — 58 (81%); Arnold Ebiketie — 38 (53%); Jalyx Hunt — 31 (43%); A.J. Epenesa — 15 (21%).
Hunt recorded three tackles and a pass defended before suffering an ankle/knee injury on the first half's final play. He did not return. Ebiketie supplied the hit on Lawrence that helped create Quinyon Mitchell’s interception.
Smith led the edge group in snaps. Ebiketie also played 19 special teams snaps, while Epenesa logged 18, giving both substantial responsibilities beyond their defensive rotations.
Linebacker: Zack Baun goes the distance on his return
Defensive snaps: Zack Baun — 72 (100%); Jihaad Campbell — 62 (86%).
Baun finished with 11 tackles after returning from his concussion absence. His fourth-down stop at the goal line preserved Philadelphia’s lead entering halftime.
Campbell handled the rest of the substantial linebacker workload. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. was ejected on the opening kickoff and finished with one special teams snap and no defensive snaps. Smael Mondon Jr. played 23 special teams snaps.
Cornerback: Quinyon Mitchell makes history during a full workload
Defensive snaps: Riq Woolen, Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell — 72 each (100%); Kenny Moore II — 44 (61%); Jonathan Jones — four (6%).
Mitchell recorded his first regular-season interception and defensed two passes. DeJean finished with 10 tackles, while Woolen added six.
The three starting cornerbacks each played every defensive snap. Moore had another substantial role with 44 snaps, while Kelee Ringo’s 24 special teams snaps were the largest workload in that phase on Philadelphia’s report.
Safety: Andrew Mukuba plays every defensive snap
Defensive snaps: Andrew Mukuba — 72 (100%); Marcus Epps — 31 (43%); Michael Carter II — 25 (35%).
Mukuba recorded three tackles while playing every snap. Carter left with an abdominal injury, adding another concern to Philadelphia’s secondary.
Epps logged 31 defensive snaps. Carter’s injury and Mukuba’s full-game workload will be part of the discussion as the Eagles assess their available personnel for Week 6.
Special teams: Final kickoff overshadows Jake Elliott’s late field goal
Special teams snaps: Carson Steele — 20 (74%); Cole Payton — 10 (37%); Britain Covey, Braden Mann and Rocco Underwood — nine each (33%); Jake Elliott — eight (30%); Micah Morris — three (11%).
Elliott’s 48-yard field goal gave Philadelphia a 17-16 lead with eight seconds remaining. Ameer Abdullah’s ensuing 53-yard kickoff return set up Cam Little’s winning 57-yard field goal.
Mann punted six times for 303 yards, averaging 50.5 yards per punt. Covey returned four punts for 42 yards. The final kickoff overshadowed those contributions, turning a potential victory into Philadelphia’s third consecutive loss.
