Jeremiah Trotter Jr. Poised for First Start as Eagles Rest Starters

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is set to make his first start of the season against the Commanders in the regular-season finale, as the team rests its starters. Trotter, who has played only 19 defensive snaps this year compared to 313 on special teams, expressed excitement for the opportunity. Despite limited defensive reps, he believes he's improved through mental preparation. All-Pro Zack Baun, who will be resting, anticipates Trotter will demonstrate leadership and playmaking ability in the crucial game.
