Eagles Giants Final Injury Report: Saquon Barkley questionable to play

The Philadelphia Eagles They issued their third and final official injury report on the Friday prior to the Week 14 game vs New York Giants.

The Eagles have ruled one player off the field: Shaun Bradley.

Bradley, who leads the team in special teams catch percentage, suffered a hamstring injury against Tennessee Titans Did not practice this week. The Eagles will likely temporarily lift Christian Ellis from their coaching lineup for the second straight game. They might have done it even if Bradley hadn’t been hurt…but now that maneuver made a lot more sense.

Quez Waktins and Kyzir White are specifically listed without game states after being listed as limited on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Good to go on Sunday.

Avonte Maddox remains on injured reserve, but the Eagles opened his 21-day training window earlier this week. Looks like there’s a chance he’ll be back in the starting line-up this weekend. The Eagles have until 4:00 PM ET on Saturday to activate Maddox from IR to the active roster. Note that they currently have an open roster spot to fill, so they don’t have to move to free up space for it.

New York Giants injury report (Friday)

The big news is that the Giants ruled Saquon Barkley questionable. He was limited in practice for the second day in a row. The Giants don’t seem too confident he’ll play:

Barkley has accounted for 60% of New York’s total yardage and 30.8% of its offensive touchdown runs this season. He was instrumental in the Giants’ hot start earlier this year. His efficiency numbers have dropped since Week 6, however, and the team has struggled. It seems that relying on Barkley so heavily has taken its toll.

If Barkley can’t play, the Giants have Matt Breda and Gary Brightwell running back. Breda has 34 carries of 112 yards (3.3 avg) while Brightwell has nine carries of 50 yards (5.6 avg).

Elsewhere on the Giants’ injury report, they ruled out starting cornerback Adoree’ Jackson and questionable starting defensive tackle Leonard Williams. These are two of their best advocates. It should also be noted that the G-Men are missing starting safety Xavier McKinney, who is on the backup/non-football injury list. The Eagles should be able to take advantage of this defense.

The two attack soldiers, Shen Lemieux and Joshua Izudo, also walked out. If they are healthy, one of them can start at left guard. Instead, the Giants seem willing to go with either Nick Gates or infrared activation candidate Ben Bredison. No matter who they choose, the Giants aren’t going to go with a great choice in this place.
