With kickoff fast approaching, here's the 53-man roster by position ahead of Week 7
We're just hours from kickoff as the Eagles are visiting Minneapolis for an intriguing Week 7 matchup against the explosive Vikings, who'll have Carson Wentz as the starting quarterback. Minnesota seeks its third-straight home victory over Philadelphia when the clubs meet in Week 7 on Fox. The Vikings previously defeated the Eagles in Minnesota at U.S. Bank Stadium in 2019 (38-20) and Mall of America Field in 2013 (48-30).
Philadelphia will face a formidable Minnesota defense that ranks sixth in the NFL, allowing just 290 yards per game. The Vikings have allowed only 19.4 points per game and are second in the NFL in third-down defense, while tied for fourth in red zone defense.
