Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick
The return of Carson Wentz (knee) will be put off for another week as Nick Foles prepares to lead the Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) down south to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0) in Week 2 action on Sunday afternoon.

Preview
The Eagles opened their season as Super Bowl champions by narrowly defeating the Atlanta Falcons 18-12 in a game that resembled the one the two teams played in the Divisional Round back in January. Philadelphia mucked the game up, and prevented Atlanta from driving to tie the game and take the lead in the waning seconds. Jay Ajayi led the way with two touchdowns as both teams, and Foles struggled with only 117 yards passing with an interception.
For the most part, the Eagles and Falcons looked like they were still stuck in preseason mode.
That was not so much the case in the Bayou, as the Buccaneers handily took care of its NFC South rival, the New Orleans Saints.
The Buccaneers’ offense unexpectedly hung 48 points on a Saints’ defense many expected to regress, but not THAT much, in Week 1. Totaling over 500 total yards, journeyman quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick accounted for a career-high 417 through the air with four touchdowns, while adding 36 on the ground.
Former Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson hauled in two of Fitzpatrick’s touchdowns in the opener, but was looking questionable all week due to a concussion sustained last week, as well as a shoulder injury. Jackson practiced late this week, but will likely be closer to a gametime decision.
The major blow for Tampa Bay occurred though in the fourth quarter, when cornerback Vernon Hargreaves – the No. 11 selection in the 2016 NFL Draft – suffered a shoulder injury. Hargreaves, who missed seven games last season with a hamstring injury, is out for the remainder of the 2018 season.
