Philadelphia opened Week 1 with a tight edge-rush rotation: Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt started, Patrick Johnson promoted from the practice squad, and Josh Uche used as a versatile backup. Azeez Ojulari and Ogbo Okoronkwo were inactive, nudging Vic Fangio to lean on interior players migrating outside for pressure, with Gabe Hall, Moro Ojomo, and Jalen Carter looming for snaps.

There was chatter about Philadelphia pursuing Micah Parsons this summer, a rumor that didn’t advance to compensation. Isaiah Foskey is a name to watch after his 2023 Saints stint, slated for a workout with the Eagles next week. Dallas’ inactives painted a clear Week 1 picture, underscoring how edge pressure could swing this NFC East opener.
