The Philadelphia Eagles open the 2025 NFL regular season against the Dallas Cowboyson Sept. 4 at Lincoln Financial Field (8:20 p.m., NBC).

The defending champs had some turnover on the defensive side of the ball, with key contributors such as cornerback Darius Slay , edge rusher Josh Sweat and safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson all moving on. There are intriguing competitions at those spots as well as at wide receiver behind A.J. Brown , DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson .

The roster will be cut to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Here is a projection for the Eagles:

QUARTERBACKS (3): Jalen Hurts , Tanner McKee , Kyle McCord

The rookie McCord gets the nod over Dorian Thompson-Robinson . McKee has shown that he can step in and perform at a high level when called upon.
