Our Eagles beat writers predict what will happen when the Eagles play at Carolina on Thursday night.
Paul Domowitch
Being the road team in a short-week game is a distinct disadvantage. Particularly when you’re dealing with the number of injuries to key personnel that the Eagles are.
If this game was on Sunday, Lane Johnson probably clears concussion protocol and Fletcher Cox’s calf would have three more days to heal. But it isn’t and neither likely will be available against the Panthers.
My feeling is that whoever wins the third-down battle will win the 60-minute war.
