In Week 5 of the 2021 NFL season, Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles will travel to Charlotte to take on the NFC South-leading Carolina Panthers. The Eagles are coming off of a tough loss vs. the Kansas City Chiefs in a game where there were no punts.
The Panthers, meanwhile, suffered their first loss of the season last week when they took on fellow NFC powerhouse Dallas Cowboys.
With the season in Week 5, the NFL has already reached the first quarter of the season, so injuries are beginning to mount.
