The Philadelphia Eagles, secured as the second seed in the NFC playoffs, opt to rest multiple star players in Week 18 to ensure health for the postseason.
Notably, running back Saquon Barkley, despite a stellar season leading to 2,005 rushing yards, will sit out the final regular season game to avoid injury.
Sending a clear message about prioritizing a Super Bowl run, the Eagles' decision to rest key players—buried under injuries—emphasizes their long-term strategy for success.
With their playoff spot locked, the Eagles will likely start third-string QB Tanner McKee due to the confluence of injuries impacting their quarterback position.
