Eagles 2026 season preview: Can Nick Sirianni pry his Super Bowl window back open?

The Philadelphia Eagles are in an enviable position, having achieved an 11-win season - a disappointment for Nick Sirianni's team, who became the first NFC East champions to repeat in over two decades. However, their offense left much to be desired, resulting in a Wild Card loss to the San Francisco 49ers. This led to adjustments, with the receiving corps sacrificing A.J.

Brown for Makai Lemon and Dontayvion Wicks, and the defense bolstered by veteran additions. The Eagles must now turn this talent into more than a one-and-done postseason participant.

Key changes include the hiring of Sean Mannion as Offensive Coordinator, replacing Kevin Patullo, who was fired. Mannion, a backup quarterback, helped Jordan Love in the Packers' system, potentially improving the young wideouts tasked with replacing A.J. Brown. However, the Eagles' defense faces uncertainty, with Reed Blankenship leaving the team. This leaves a volatile rotation in the backfield, including a combination of veterans and rookies who may impact the team's performance in 2026.

Jihaad Campbell, the new linebacker, shows promise as a Pro Bowl-caliber player, with strong coverage skills and pressure ability. The wide receiver corps ranks 12th in the league, while the running backs are ranked 9th. Despite these challenges, Sirianni's history suggests he will make enough improvements to secure modest success for the Eagles in 2026.
