Washington fell 27-18 to Green Bay on Thursday night, but the scoreboard wasn’t the worst news. Austin Ekeler left late with a suspected Achilles tear, pending MRI, and Noah Brown exited with a groin injury. Several Packers were also on the report. The injuries could reshape Washington’s offense heading into the next stretch.
Philadelphia beat Dallas 24-20 in a chaotic NFL opener that featured an early ejection of Jalen Carter for spitting on Dak Prescott and a lightning delay. Jalen Hurts ran for two touchdowns, Saquon Barkley added another, and Jake Elliott drilled a 58-yarder to seal it. A forced fumble by Jihaad Campbell and recovery by Quinyon Mitchell swung momentum as the Eagles began their title defense.
