The Philadelphia Eagles will open the 2026 season against the Washington Commanders with another talented defense under Vic Fangio. Philadelphia has star power at all three levels, but questions involving Jonathan Greenard’s availability, the edge-rusher rotation and several roles in the secondary could shape the opening-day lineup.
