Eagles defensive struggles raise concerns before Week 3 matchup

The Philadelphia Eagles' Vic Fangio-led defense has not met expectations early in the 2026 NFL season, failing to secure any takeaways in two games. While the pass rush has shown potential, consistency remains an issue, especially in the safety positions, prompting the team to sign former Pro Bowler Kenny Moore. Analyst Tim McManus referred to the Eagles' lack of turnovers as a 'mirage,' pointing to the team's previous defensive success under Fangio. Defensive end Jonathan Greenard is expected to return from injury, which could bolster the unit. The Eagles hope for improved performance as they approach their Week 3 game.
