The Eagles aren’t ready to share their plans for playing starters against the Giants in Week 18.
Head coach Nick Sirianni was non-committal after Sunday’s win over the Cowboys and he said he’s “still not there” during a Monday press conference. Sirianni noted that players have the day off on Monday and he would want to speak to them before announcing any decisions.
The health of the team’s quarterbacks may take some decisions out of Sirianni’s hands. Quarterback Jalen Hurts remains in the concussion protocol and Kenny Pickett is dealing with broken ribs, so Tanner McKee may be the starter by default. The Eagles are locked into the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs, so they’ll be at home in the wild card round with any result.
Among healthy players, running back Saquon Barkley’s status will be of particular interest. Barkley finished Sunday’s game with 2,005 rushing yards for the season and he is 101 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson’s single-season record.
