Forget sleeping in, because Week 4 is already hitting us with some wild early morning football, kicking off with the Colts and Commanders going head-to-head in London at 6:30 a.m.! Seriously, who’s up for breakfast and a 1-2 showdown from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium? That’s just the appetizer before the main event at 10 a.m. with the Rams and Eagles battling it out in Philadelphia.
Early Birds Get the Football, and Some Brutal Injury Reports
While the Colts and Commanders are slugging it out across the pond, it’s the 10 a.m. matchup that’s got everyone talking, especially with the injury reports coming in. It’s only Week 4, but both the Rams and Eagles are already absolutely battered. We’re talking about some serious talent sidelined for this one, and it’s gonna test the depth charts for both squads.
The Walking Wounded: Philly and LA Are Hurting Bad
Let’s break down these injury reports, because they are gnarly. The Rams are gonna be without defensive powerhouses Aaron Donald and Jaylen Watson. That’s a massive hit to their defense, and you just know Philly is gonna try to exploit that. But hold up, the Eagles aren’t exactly healthy either. Their receiving corps is decimated, with DeVonta Smith and Hollywood Brown both out. Plus, they’re missing tight end Dallas Goedert, linebacker Zack Baun, and safety Marcus Epps. This isn’t just a couple of guys; this is a chunk of both teams’ starters watching from the sidelines.
The Rams are actually coming in as 3.5-point favorites, which is wild considering their own injury woes. But if they drop this one? Man, they’re in a tough spot. A loss here would put them on track for a potential 1-4 start, and guess who they host next week? The Bills. Talk about a brutal stretch. This game isn’t just about Week 4; it’s about trying to salvage some momentum before their season spirals. Gotta wonder how these teams are gonna patch things up and who steps up with so many key players out. This is where grit gets tested, big time.
