You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get after it.
Philadelphia is taking a serious hit before they even cross the Atlantic. Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, Hollywood Brown, Marcus Epps, and starting center Drew Kendall have all been ruled out for Sunday's London matchup against Jacksonville. That is a staggering amount of firepower to leave behind, and the Eagles will need answers fast against a Jaguars team playing on home soil abroad.
To soften the blow, Philadelphia moved quickly on the roster side, signing running back Carson Steele and center Jake Majors to the active roster. Neither name carries the weight of Barkley or Smith, but the Eagles are clearly trying to patch the gaps before kickoff in London. It will be a serious test of depth for a team with championship expectations.
Shifting to the college game, Mother Nature is threatening one of the biggest matchups of the season. Number two Georgia and number six Alabama are scheduled for Saturday night, but Hurricane Isaias is now looming over that contest. Weather has derailed marquee college games before, and with stakes this high between two powerhouses, every update between now and kickoff matters enormously.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
