The Jacksonville Jaguars return to London for Week 5, playing host as the home team against the Philadelphia Eagles. Kickoff is set for 9:30 am ET at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, airing live on NFL Network.
The Eagles are off to a 2-2 start and have generally been underwhelmed this season, with a generally strong run game to begin with. Saquon Barkley is out in Week 5 after suffering a hamstring injury last week, while his backup Tank Bigsby is also out on the IR this week after core muscle surgery. They’re also on the receiving end, as DeVonta Smith is set to miss his second consecutive game. The team also traded OL Cam Jergens this week, while All-Pro tackle Lane Johnson announced his retirement this week.

Clearly… it’s Philadelphia a lot in this chapter are carried matchup.
The Jaguars continue to look hot under coach Liam Coen, and playing in what is essentially a home game across the pond, sportsbooks think the momentum will continue in Jacksonville, rather than touchdown. It’s not just the offense that’s clicking for sixth-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Their defense has also looked good, forcing a turnover on a league-high 21.6% of opposing drives, while allowing a score on just 29.7% of face-offs — the third-lowest rate in the league.

Eagles running back Will Shipley is questionable in Week 5 because of a foot injury.
Shipley was only held to six yards on the ground, though he did have a rushing score. But the running back apparently injured his foot shortly after the play and is now doubtful to return.
If he can’t go, Dameon Pierce would probably take over a bigger role in the middle of the Eagles’ offense.

Will the Eagles win in Week 5? Philadelphia quickly took the lead in London after Jalen Hurts connected with Darius Cooper in the twenty-sixth yard.
Cooper beat his man deep on the play and then avoided a safety to take it up for the score.
With the touchdown, the Eagles went up 14-7 with just over five minutes until halftime. The team will now send its defense — and Jalen Carter — back on the field as they look to slow down the Jaguars in the fourth quarter.

Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter dominated in Week 5. Carter was a threat all game and nearly caused a turnover in the fourth quarter.
Carter got around the edge and managed to strip Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence for a sack. Lawrence was able to recover the ball in the game.
The Jaguars were unable to convert on the next play and were forced to punt.

It took a full quarter, but the Philadelphia Eagles finally rallied to support Sun’s drive.
The Eagles capped a 13-play drive with a rushing touchdown by Will Shipley to tie things up 7-7 in the second quarter.
While it was an impressive drive, the Eagles were able to use an interference penalty on Travis Hunter, which put the team a few yards from the end zone.
The catcher clearly blocked the receiver on the play, so it wasn’t a bogus call. Two plays later, Shipley found the end zone.

London leads the first quarter and the Jaguars lead the Eagles 7-0.
Other than two plays — the opening kickoff event and Parker Washington’s long touchdown — he was muted in the first quarter.
Both teams struggled to get a long drive going. The Eagles forced a first down and picked off one drive after a failed fourth down conversion.
The Jaguars had a quick score against Washington, but otherwise the offense has been thrown so far.

Jalen Hurts had one completion in three passing attempts, but the gain was zephyr to rookie Makai Lemon, also finding ends Dallas Goedert and Zach Ertz without a connection.
The Eagles punted with Braden Mann for 42 yards to set up the Jaguars inside their own 10.
Kate Magdziuk
The Jaguars gained 37 yards on their own, and scored only three plays.
After Trevor Lawrence found Hunter’s two interceptions up the middle for nine yards and a first down, he found wide receiver Parker Washington, who covered some traffic with the help of some solid field blocking, for 25 yards.
Quick’s effort rebounded from Washington’s disappointing win over the Bengals last week, where he had seven yards receiving and one catch.

It was a seven-play, 21-yard drive by the Eagles, as Jalen Hurts completed 3 of 4 pass attempts for 16 yards and added a two-yard gain on the ground.
Officials initially asked for a first down run on that dig, but on review it was a short gain line. The Eagles tried to run on fourth-and-1 at the Jacksonville line, but it was no good.
He had suffered a turnover.

The Jaguars managed nothing on the opening possession, thanks to two penalties and a 15-yard fumble that was recovered by Jaguars OL Robert Hainsey.
Five games. -8 yards. And Logan Cooke punted for 58 yards with Eagles WR Britannia Covey making an 18-yard return.

Tensions are already high in Jacksonville when the Eagles’ Jeremiah Trotter Jr. Jaguars linebacker Bryan Thomas Jr. The defensive end was both ejected after a fight broke out between the two teams on the opening kickoff.
Trotter made his first start of the season at linebacker last week, and now, before taking a single defensive snap, Philadelphia will turn to its next.

Jacksonville Jaguars two-way star Travis Hunter is ready for action in Week 5.
After playing all of his defensive snaps in Week 4, Hunter is ready to take the field against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5.
The two-way player could see more snap on offense this week, especially with the Eagles passing on a few key catches.

When the Eagles and Jaguars square off in Week 5, a special guest will be available at the game. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is in London to get in on the action.

The Philadelphia Eagles offensive line is already troubled and it’s not Week 5. After losing Landon Dickerson earlier in Week 2, the Eagles also lost Lane Johnson to a surprising retirement on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, the team voluntarily made another big change to its O-line, trading two-time Pro Bowler Cam Jurgens to the Baltimore Ravens for two snaps. It was an indisputable decision considering the team is still very much in contention and is already on the offensive line.
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman addressed the trade Wednesday, explaining that the team was not looking at Jurgens but was forced to act based on the good prospects coming into the deal, per The Athletic.
“We weren’t looking to move Cam. Obviously, the Ravens were looking for a center… It wasn’t a race for them that we were trying to do. Over the last 24 hours, it got to where we felt like it could be a win for them. It’s clear that the two-year Pro Bowl center and obviously the players we’re using to get us. Maybe to watch Drew do a really nice job of centering the play here.
Roseman said that between the draft picks — a fifth-rounder in 2027 and a second-rounder in 2028 — the added money and the elevation of Drew Kendall to the starting lineup, he felt the Eagles had added four players in the trade.
Roseman added that fans shouldn’t look at the trade as the Eagles’ white flag in 2026. The team is still trying to win this season, according to The Athletic.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter struggled to enjoy playing overseas before the Week 5 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Before the match, Carter made sure to say hello to the international fans.
Carter wants to add another sack and a few tackles to the lineup Sunday. He has a sack and eight combined tackles through four games so far this season.

In the days following the fall of the Rams, the Eagles saw two significant developments that left observers wondering if the punting continued after the game. On Tuesday, Lane Johnson, a 14-year veteran right tackle and franchise anchor; announced his retirementeffective, immediately. Johnson’s departure means Philadelphia now has a bigger hole to fill on the line — not a position you want to see when your team is already struggling offensively.
But Johnson’s announcement was only a prelude to the big news of the week: On Wednesday, the Eagles Ravens guard/center Cam Jurgens for j a pair of draft beds. When you’re already looking at the significant competition on that side of the ball, it’s hard to justify trading a Pro Bowler for a draft pick as anything other than a concession until those draft picks are fit.
Are the Eagles already hanging on to it in 2026? Read more.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive line will look a little different in Week 5 than it has in past weeks, as All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson has announced his surprising retirement. He played the first three weeks of the season before being surprisingly rested for Week 4 due to personal reasons.
Then, one day later, news broke that the Eagles were trading OL Cam Jurgens to the Baltimore Ravens. And all of that came a week after Eagles starting guard Landon Dickerson went to IR with a knee injury following a disastrous Week 1 game.
Here’s the Eagles’ offensive lineup for Week 6:
