Philadelphia Eagles Projected 2023 Week 17 Starters

The Philadelphia Eagles have finally rebounded from three consecutive losses and improved to 11-4 on the 2023 NFL season. A tight victory over the New York Giants didn't inspire too much hope, but the Eagles hope to have key starters Avonte Maddox and Landon Dickerson back on the field in Week 17 against the Arizona Cardinals.

The three-game losing streak sent shockwaves of panic throughout the fan base. Things didn't look perfect at Lincoln Financial Field against the Giants on Christmas. The Eagles ultimately halted the losing skid.

The Eagles have struggled with the same weaknesses throughout the 2023 season, and their recent opponents have exposed their flaws brutally.

Jalen Hurts threw another interception against the Giants. This one cost the Eagles eight points. He has turned the ball over 18 times during the 2023 season. Boston Scott and Olamide Zaccheaus also contributed to a sloppy special teams turnover. The Eagles now sit tied for 25th in the NFL with a -7 turnover differential.

Darius Slay will miss his third consecutive game after an arthroscopic knee surgery. Kelee Ringo was the primary fill-in on the outside for the injured Pro Bowl cornerback. Zach Cunningham and Nicholas Morrow also sat out in Week 16 against the Giants. The two linebackers have handled the majority of the defensive snaps this season. Shaq Leonard played an increased role with the two starters unavailable.

Sua Opeta started at left guard in place of Landon Dickerson, but Dickerson should return against the Cardinals.

Avonte Maddox has missed the past 13 games with a pec injury. He hopes to return as the slot corner to sure up a position that has become a weakness for the Philadelphia defense.

With the need for a stronger rebound effort, Nick Sirianni hopes to have his roster at full strength against the Cardinals.
