MINNEAPOLIS – You need the Eagles to discover somebody, anybody for their ambushed auxiliary, and for their wide beneficiary corps that can't get open profound any longer.

On the off chance that solitary it were that basic.

The Eagles can't mystically snap their fingers and understand that shutdown cornerback to control rivals like the Vikings' Stefon Diggs, who went through the Eagles' auxiliary for 167 yards and 3 touchdowns Sunday.

Or then again, wham, there's that profound danger at wide collector who can get open and convert the sort of long passes that Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, and others, have finished against the Eagles this season.

What's more, truly, how would you choose what to organize, with the exchange cutoff time coming Oct. 29?

All things considered, the issues were far reaching in the Eagles' 38-20 misfortune to the Vikings on Sunday.

It went a lot further than cornerbacks Rasul Douglas and Sidney Jones, who consolidated to surrender three TDs. Douglas' miscues were progressively unfortunate as Diggs beat him for 62 yards and 51 yards, both in the subsequent quarter.

Would Jacksonville's Jalen Ramsey, or another person, have any kind of effect, when the protective line couldn't get a lot of weight on Cousins? Or then again when Douglas didn't get any required security help, an inclusion Malcolm Jenkins said he blew on Diggs' second TD.

At that point here's Fletcher Cox, a Pro Bowl guarded handle the previous four seasons. He has played six games and has zero sacks.

Would an exchange help the Eagles when next Sunday, when they have an in front of the pack standoff – all things being equal with two 3-3 groups – in Dallas?

Maybe the Eagles are stuck for the present with what they have at cornerback. That implies Douglas and Jones need to put this disaster behind them, and rapidly.

"It's not hard by any means," Douglas said about proceeding onward. "You watch film ... When we go over the mix-ups, at that point what would you be able to improve? Simply practice. By the day's end, you have a game one week from now. You gotta disregard this one. It's as of now over … We got the Cowboys, a divisional group. Simply anticipating that."

In light of present conditions, so are the Cowboys, for clear reasons. They have Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup at wide recipient.

It won't show signs of improvement soon.

Ronald Darby (hamstring) and Avonte Maddox (blackout, neck) have missed three and two games, separately. Jalen Mills (foot) is planning to get cleaned to come up the physically incapable to perform list this week, and conceivably return against the Cowboys.

In any case, Mills last played in a game Oct. 28, 2018, or 50 weeks prior.

It's the equivalent at wide collector.

DeSean Jackson played in one full game this season before enduring a stomach damage. The Eagles, other than running back Miles Sanders, haven't had the option to finish long goes since.

Sanders, for the fourth game straight, had the longest gathering of the game, with a 45-yard gathering in the wake of scoring on a 32-yard touchdown.

Jackson had two TD gatherings, each for 50 or more yards, in the season opener. The Eagles haven't had another finish that since a long time ago.

Would somebody like Cincinnati's A.J. Green change that, at any rate immediately?

Perhaps, perhaps not. Moreover, he's harmed. As is Ramsey.

A year ago, the Eagles exchanged for Golden Tate at the cutoff time, and he wasn't viable.

"We had some chance to get down the field," Eagles mentor Doug Pederson said. "We extended the field somewhat a couple of times. We got innovative with it, with moving some folks around. Clearly, DeSean enables that when he's to out there. In any case, that is something we must keep on working with and work through and see ways as innovative that way."

So the Eagles will continue searching for that imagination, while trusting that Jackson can return, on the off chance that not against the Cowboys, at that point not long after.

The Eagles probably won't have quite a bit of a decision.

Birds head supervisor Howie Roseman could surrender numerous draft picks, including first-rounders, to address the issues at cornerback and wide beneficiary. Or on the other hand he could organize one spot over the other and expectation the one he doesn't address works itself out.

Or then again he could trust the Eagles modify, recover their harmed players eventually, and go on a summary the stretch of the period and get into the playoffs as they did last season.

That probably won't be the appropriate response that fans are seeking after.

"There were a few shots that we didn't associate on," Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz said. "There were some different things where I may have missed some folks and those sorts of things. In any case, it's a decent safeguard, and we truly needed to acquire it today."

The Eagles didn't approach, all around.
