The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders could both see key defensive players return for their Sunday matchup. Bryce Huff and Jonathan Allen have opened the 21-day practice window for their respective comebacks.
Reinforcements could be on the way for the Eagles and Commanders , and perhaps they will arrive as early as Sunday, the teams’ second meeting of the season. Philly opened the 21-day practice window for defensive end Bryce Huff ’s return from injured reserve and Washington did the same for defensive tackle Jonathan Allen on Wednesday. The teams will play in Landover, Md., at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Huff has already missed the required four games after being put on IR following wrist surgery.
Allen tore a pectoral muscle in Week 6 against the Ravens. He was reported to be lost for the remainder of the season, but he appears to be on track to return at some point this season.

We just don’t know quite when that will be quite yet.” Huff wasn’t exactly lighting it up on defense, recording just 2.5 sacks this season after hitting 10 with the New York Jets last year. Still, he would be another piece defensive coordinator Vic Fangio could use to keep players fresh as they head into their final three games of the regular season and into the playoffs.“Bryce has been a good teammate,” said Sirianni. “For us, he’s had moments of playing well. I thought he was really doing a good job and making some plays. Thinking back to the Dallas game, he had a big sack and he’s been able to get pressure. We’re excited when we are able to get him back. We’re excited to have him back in there and rolling.” The Eagles have won 10 in a row, a franchise record, beating the Commanders 28-18 on Nov. 14 and sit at 12-
