Eagles updated 53-man roster vs. Colts: News and notes for Week 11
The Philadelphia Eagles are less than 24 hours away from returning to the field for an intriguing matchup against the AFC South’s Indianapolis Colts.
The Birds are a huge favorite and will look to move to 9-1 on the season while erasing any taste of that Monday night disaster.
