LANDOVER, Md. -- First, the report from the end zone at FedEx Field: The grass turf is dry and in good shape, not impacted by the massive rains in the area. The winds, however, could impact this game greatly. Perhaps the winds will subside a bit as the day goes along, but only a couple of hours before kickoff the winds were swirling and gusty and that could alter some plans for the Eagles and the Redskins.
We all knew the weather could have some impact with Hurricane Joaquin still in play, although to much less of a degree than many expected only a few days ago.
