Commanders travel to Philadelphia to face Eagles in season opener

The Washington Commanders visit Lincoln Financial Stadium this Sunday at 4:25 p.m. EDT to play the Philadelphia Eagles in a Week 1 matchup. Washington enters the contest with a running back group featuring Wild Bill, Rachaad White, and Kaytron Allen. The team previously relied on a committee approach during the 2025 season after Jacory Croskey-Merritt earned a starting role. Analysts identify Eagles running back Saquon Barkley as a primary threat for the Washington defense to monitor during the game. Barkley remains a central piece of the Philadelphia offense, consistently contributing in both rushing and receiving categories. Washington coach David Blough oversees an offense that expects to incorporate quarterback Jayden Daniels into the rushing scheme throughout the regular season.
