The Philadelphia Eagles 2024 schedule isn't set to be released until Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ET, but thanks to some insiders, we know who the Birds will face in Week 2.

After the Eagles wrap up their Week 1 international matchup in Brazil against the Green Bay Packers, they will return home and prepare to take on the Atlanta Falcons.

According to Bleacher Reports' Jordan Schultz, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles take on Kirk Cousins and the Falcons under the lights for Monday Night Football.

This matchup is highly anticipated with Cousins returning to action after tearing his Achilles last fall, and then signing a massive four-year, $180 million deal with the Falcons in free agency.

The game will also feature two of the league's best running backs in Philly's new weapon Saquon Barkley and Falcons' second-year running back Bijan Robinson.

However, the Eagles should be able to win this one considering they still have one of the best-run defenses intact and for the simple fact that Cousins notoriously looks worse in primetime games.
