On the Monday following the Eagles bye week, Howie Roseman made one of his signature moves by re-signing one of the team's best players to a contract mid-season.

The new deal will keep guard Brandon Brooks with the Eagles through the 2024 season.

Brooks has been the Eagles best player this season and is line for a slew of awards.

After tearing his Achillies' tendon in the Divisonal Round, Brooks rebounded to start week one of the season and be Pro Football Focus' best offensive lineman in 2019.

For as much as it feels like the Eagles have been getting beat down this season, the team is actually still in pretty good shape in regards to the playoffs, especially after this week.

Sure, a bye week is almost always in favor of the team on bye getting a chance to heal, but the Eagles got a little help from the schedule this week.

The Eagles are not exactly in an ideal position in regards to the playoffs with a 5-4 schedule, but they find themselves tied for a the sixth-best record in the NFC following their bye and just 2.5 games out from the second first-round bye.

The Eagles are now focused on trying to go 12-4 with arguably the easiest part of their schedule set to end the season following match-ups with the Patriots and Seahawks - both Eagles home games.

Following the signing of Jordan Matthews to his third stint with the team earlier in the week, the Eagles still had one roster spot vacant due to their release of Andrew Sendejo.

On Thursday afternoon, the Eagles announced they had claimed safety Marcus Epps off of waivers to fill that spot.

With DeSean Jackson possibly out for the rest of the season and the team clinging to Mack Hollins, a special teams "ace" that has more penalties on special teams than impact plays, and JJ Arcega Whiteside, who lost the Eagles a game with a drop of a ball that hit him in the face, the Eagles needed reinforcements at receiver.

The Eagles are reportedly finally making a move, signing receiver Jordan Matthews for his third stint with the team, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

On Monday, it was announced DeSean Jackson would have surgery on Tuesday to repair his core muscle injury.

Andrew Sendejo garnered a reputation among Philadelphia Eagles fans this season when he nearly crippled corner Avonte Maddox with a helmet to helmet collision and lost the Eagles another one of their corners for four weeks.

Having played nine games, his time in Philadelphia has come to an end.

Did DeSean Jackson come back too soon?

That is a question that may have no sure answer. What we do know are that reports from John Clarck of NBC Sports Philly say, "he tore the abdominal muscle completely off the bone yesterday, worse than his injury in week two."

DeSean will have surgery on the injury and Ian Rappoport of the NFL Network Reports his season may be over.

#Eagles WR DeSean Jackson is having surgery to repair a core muscle injury tomorrow, sources say. Based on the timing, it appears unlikely he’ll play again this season.

The Eagles were on their way to a totally dominant win, but the brakes fell off at the half.

The team defense pitched a shutout in the first half and then gave up huge drives in the second. The offense cruised at times and then would suddenly cease to function.

The team has plenty to address in their upcoming bye week before they host two of the leagues best teams following that.

Home sweet home, right? The Birds are back at the Linc for the first time in what seems like a decade taking on the Chicago Bears. Currently sitting at .500, the Eagles are trying to string a couple wins together and build some momentum. At the half, the Eagles were up 12-0, and they came out very sloppy in the second half. Here's what I saw in the back half of the action:
