The Philadelphia Eagles will host the St Louis Rams on Sunday in a big Week 5 game taking place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The Eagles will be looking to recover from their first loss of the season, which came last week against the San Francisco 49ers. The Eagles were 3-0 prior to that 21-26 loss in California, and they will want to ensure that they halt their slide immediately with a solid win today against the struggling St Louis Rams.

The Rams did not play last week as they were on a bye, but they come into Week 5 on 1-2. The last time they played was in Week 3, where they lost a thrilling game against the Dallas Cowboys 31-34. They will want to win today to get themselves back to .500 with 2-2.

Today's game comes amid news that the NFL will begin on Monday to test players for human growth hormone (HGH).

Earlier in September, the NFL and the NFLPA announced that they had agreed to a new drug policy; that new agreement was widespread but included HGH testing for the first time in the NFL's history.

A letter written by NFLPA president Eric Winston to players has been leaked, and was published on NFL.com.

The letter reads: "As you know, the new Performance Enhancing Substances Policy includes HGH testing. Testing for HGH will begin on Monday, October 6th.

"Each week of the season, 5 players on 8 teams will be tested. No testing will occur on game days. We negotiated to ensure that the methodology of testing be conducted in the most professional and safest manner for players.

"Importantly, after three years of negotiating, players won the right to challenge any aspect of the science behind the HGH isoforms test in an appeal of a positive test."

If any performance enhancing drug policy violations are found, including HGH, the case will then be passed onto and handled by an independent arbitrator.
