Eagles Reveal Their "My Cause, My Cleats" For Sunday's Game

Since 2016, NFL players get one game each season to express themselves and help bring awareness for something close to their heart with the My Cause, My Cleats campaign. This campaign allows players to wear cleats that would normally violate the league's dress code on gamedays, while also allowing them to promote a charity or foundation that they want to help bring awareness too.


More than 20 Eagles players will be wearing special cleats on Sunday. After the game is over, their cleats will then be put up for auction, with the proceeds going to the charity represented on the cleats. Here is a look at all of the players who are participating this year, along with what charity they will be representing and what their cleats will look like:
