On Christmas Day, the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants will play at Lincoln Financial Field starting at 4:30 p.m. ET. Both teams will be very motivated to win by kickoff because they lost their previous games in Week 15.
The Eagles’ recent poor performance took a turn for the worse last week when they lost to the Seattle Seahawks 20-17, their third straight loss.
In the meantime, the Giants were brought back to earth last week by the New Orleans Saints following a streak of three straight victories.
The Giants, the Eagles’ opponent, lost last week and now have a 5-9 record, while Philly is 10-4 going into Week 16.
Four players have been ruled out of the Philadelphia Eagles’ home game against the New York Giants in Week 16. Guard Landon Dickerson (thumb), linebacker Zach Cunningham (knee), cornerback Avonte Maddox (pectoral), and cornerback Darius Slay (knee) will all be sidelined for the game.
With a pectoral injury that has kept him out of action since Week 2, Maddox appears to be coming closer to making a comeback, as seen by his inclusion in practice this week.
DeVonta Smith, a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, suffered a knee injury last week against the Seattle Seahawks, which has put him on the injury report this week. But he only participated in a limited capacity in Saturday’s practice, and he’ll likely play in Week 16.
The team’s injury report only lists linebacker Nicholas Morrow as “questionable” due to an abdominal issue.
