Jay Gruden expects Rob Kelley to face the Eagles on Monday | ESPN
The Redskins could use him, if only to give them a full complement of running backs. Kelley would return to the No. 1 role once he returns. He’s been their most consistent ball carrier, averaging 4.52 yards per carry. Chris Thompsonwould remain the third-down back.
Week 7 NFL score predictions | ESPN
Kirk Cousins can't win on Monday nights; he's 0-5. However, the Redskins quarterback has fared well in his second meeting of a season against a division opponent (4-2 record; 14 touchdowns, 3 interceptions; Total QBR of 75.0). So what does all that mean? Well, the Redskins definitely have a chance to help Cousins go 1-5 on Monday nights.

Need to know: The week that was, Allen injury and why not the Redskins | CSN
With Aaron Rodgers sidelined and everyone in the NFC looking vulnerable, the Redskins could have a chance to make a deep playoff run this year. The key word is could and they will have to do some things right, starting with beating the Eagles on Sunday. Even a loss in Philly wouldn’t be fatal for their chances. Take a look at the post and see if you agree with me.
