The Philadelphia Eagles lost two key pieces in the offseason.
Losing Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox was a big blow not only from a football perspective but also from a leadership stance.
Nonetheless, they still have more than enough talent to get back on their feet after a disappointing end to the season.
Talking on The Carton Show, former NFL star Plaxico Burress even claimed that Jalen Hurts’ health was the key for them to get back to the big game.
He firmly believes that a healthy Hurts could lead them all the way back to the NFC Championship Game.
"With a health Jalen Hurts, the Philadelphia Eagles can get back to the Championship game."

From a talent perspective, the Eagles have one of the most stacked teams in the entire league.
The front office also did a solid job of surrounding Nick Sirianni with top-notch assistants like Kellen Moore and Vic Fangio, and they should be able to take some pressure off his shoulders while also keeping him on a leash.
The Eagles were the most disappointing team in the league last season, collapsing in the second half of the campaign after getting off to a 10-1 start to the year.
Of course, Hurts being injured had plenty to do with that.
Still, this could be a make-or-break campaign for the Oklahoma product, as some think his 2022 MVP run may have been a fluke as opposed to him being that kind of player.
And given how things fared last season, Sirianni could also be on the hot seat to enter the campaign.
