Coach Nick Sirianni is considering staff changes during the bye week after the Philadelphia Eagles dropped to 2-7 with a 19-11 loss to the New York Giants.

The Philadelphia Eagles fell to 2-7 on Sunday following a 19-11 loss to the New York Giants, marking the team's seventh consecutive defeat. Head coach Nick Sirianni stated after the game that he would not rule out the possibility of staff changes during the upcoming bye week. The Eagles currently rank 30th in points per game (16.4), 30th in expected points added (minus-47.28), and 28th in offensive efficiency rating (31.53).

First-time playcaller Sean Mannion, 34, has managed an offense missing quarterback Jalen Hurts, receiver DeVonta Smith, and right tackle Lane Johnson for significant portions of the year. During Sunday's contest, the team replaced quarterback Tanner McKee with Joe Milton, who has been with the franchise for three weeks. While Milton utilized his legs to create plays, the offense continued to struggle, averaging only 15.8 first downs per game, which ranks 30th in the NFL.

With the Tuesday trade deadline approaching, the Eagles sit well behind the 5-2-1 Giants in the NFC East. General manager Howie Roseman may consider personnel moves involving players on expiring contracts. Tight end Dallas Goedert, cornerback Riq Woolen, and defensive tackle Moro Ojomo are identified as potential targets for other teams. Goedert confirmed he spoke with Roseman two weeks ago regarding his status, noting that players are available for the right price.
