The Philadelphia Eagles' 10-game winning streak has officially come to an end after losing 36-33 to the Washington Commanders in Week 16.
But that's not all that they lost as they are now dealing with a handful of injuries.
The Eagles entered the matchup very healthy and they could be in danger heading into Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Eagles starting quarterback Jalen Hurts exited the matchup early with a concussion, leaving backup Kenny Pickett to finish the game. Pickett was then shaken up on a fumble and played the rest of the way through an upper-body injury, per the NFL on FOX broadcast.
Additionally, running back Will Shipley, linebacker Nakobe Dean, defensive tackle Jordan Davis, wide receiver DeVonta Smith, and defensive end Josh Sweat were all injured at some point during the loss.
Shipley was ruled out with a concussion, while the other eventually returned.
It's even more concerning since wide receiver A.J. Brown had already entered the game with a knee injury and played through it.
The Eagles have done a good job resting their guys at the beginning of the week to make sure they're ready to go on Sundays which is likely why they have dodged anything too serious with their key players.
But of course, we'll know the severity of everyone's injury on Monday and more details on Wednesday when the first injury report for Week 17 is released.
Head coach Nick Sirianni did not have any injury updates during his post-game press conference.
However, NBC Sports' Dave Zangaro reported that Pickett had X-rays on his ribs after the game while Hurts was officially placed in concussion protocol.
