The Philadelphia Eagles will rest some starters during Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders, but the team remains focused on winning the game, a league source said Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some starters will have limited playing time, and others will dress for the game but not play because the team needs to have a certain number of active players, the source told CBS News Philadelphia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Eagles have already won the NFC East<\/a> for the second straight year and will start their run toward a possible second straight Super Bowl at home in the wild-card round.<\/p>\n

The Eagles could earn the No. 2 or No. 3 seed<\/a> in the NFC and still have four potential opponents lined up in the wild-card round headed into Monday night’s game between the Los Angeles Rams and Atlanta. A Rams loss would knock the Seahawks off the list of potential teams in the playoff opener.<\/p>\n

The Eagles (11-5) would earn the No. 2 seed if they beat the Commanders (4-12) on Sunday and Chicago loses to Detroit.<\/p>\n

If not, the Eagles are the No. 3 seed.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s game is at 4:25 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field and airs on CBS and SportsRadio 94WIP.<\/p>\n
