Why this opener matters

NFC East football starts on the road. Washington opens 2026 at Lincoln Financial Field against the Eagles — the rivalry, the division, and the first real measuring stick of Dan Quinn’s second year.

The final injury report carried no game-status tags. Croskey-Merritt, Oweh, Chaisson, and Payne are cleared. Still out Week 1: Laremy Tunsil and Trey Amos (IR), Dorance Armstrong (suspension).

Storylines to watch

Three threads that will decide the afternoon:

Jayden Daniels vs. the Eagles’ front — can Washington stay on schedule on early downs?
Secondary without Amos — who owns the slot and deep half when Philly spreads it out?
Road composure — first snap of the year in a hostile NFC East building.
