Eagles might be missing some key defensive starters against the Redskins

The Philadelphia Eagles are dealing with a number of injury issues heading into their Week 16 game against the Washington Redskins. This is bad news for the Birds considering this week's game is a must-win affair. The Eagles will be officially limited from the 2016 NFL playoff picture if they don't win this week.

Starting cornerback Byron Maxwell is among those dealing with injury issues. The starting cornerback suffered an injury during Philadelphia's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Les Bowen has the update:

I'm told there's a real good chance Byron Maxwell misses Saturday's game, which isn't a big surprise.
