One of the most improved units on the Redskins, the defensive line lost a crucial part of its rotation with Jonathan Allen's recent injury. They'll need to fill the void against the first-place Eagles.
Arguably the biggest upgrade to the Redskins defense this season has been the defensive line. The unit underwent a reboot this past offseason, bringing in two free agent veterans in Stacy McGee and Terrell McClain and making its biggest splash in the draft, selecting Jonathan Allen in the first round. The emergence of Matt Ioannidis in his second year has helped transform the pass rush and produced a ripple effect for the rest of the defense.
