The Eagles learned they will be without two of their key players for a significant time period, in Jason Peters and Jordan Hicks.
According to Zach Berman, Hicks suffered a torn Achilles in the first quarter of Monday's game, which would almost certainly end his season.

Peters, the Eagles' 35-year-old Pro Bowl left tackle and leader, suffered a knee injury. The good news is, according to Adam Schefter, the Eagles do not believe it to be a torn ACL.
If there is some bit of encouraging news on OT Jason Peters, Eagles do not believe he tore his ACL, per source. MRI this morning to see.

Eagles fans serenaded Peters by chanting his name as he was carted off the field.
Listen to this chant from the Philly crowd for Jason Peters. I don't care what people say, the fans in Philly are great.

Both Hicks and Peters have been key players in the Eagles' NFL best 6-1 start. They will have to find adequate replacements, which will not be easy to do.
Update:
The Eagles received bad news on Jason Peters, who reportedly has a torn MCL and ACL.
