CBSSports.com’s Jason La Canfora reported one option could involve postponing Sunday’s game until November 1, as both teams have a Week 8 bye.

The two split last year’s regular-season series; the Eagles won the Week 3 game in Philadelphia 37-34, while the Redskins won the Week 16 game in Washington 27-24.
If you don’t already know, the Eagles are presupposed to play the Redskins at FedEx Field this Sunday.
This is all just speculation and planning by the National Football League, but if the weather forces this to happen, then each team would have their bye week this weekend. The Conference is also considering moving or postponing the game depending on the severity of the weather.
According to The Post, Aiello didn’t mention any specifics about potential scheduling changes.

Over the next week, the East Coast is at risk of taking on quite a bit of water as Hurricane Joaquin starts heading north. It could potentially mean a change in scheduling for the Eagles and Washington Redskins. The entire Saints’ 2005 home schedule was moved after the damage Hurricane Katrina inflicted on the Superdome and a pair of Dolphins games have been postponed or delayed to due to hurricane-like conditions.
