While it’s frustrating dealing with the weekly Peters injury, he always lifts his play when it matters. He completely shut down Khalil Mack in the playoffs. Peters will get at least one more chance to make a postseason run after watching the Eagles win the Super Bowl from the sidelines in 2017 with a torn ACL.
