The Philadelphia Eagles get set to play the New York Giants in Week 18. While the Giants have been eliminated from playoff contention, the Eagles do have some stakes in today’s game. However, they will have to try to win this game without one of their key offensive weapons.
D’Andre Swift Out Due to Illness
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Philadelphia Eagles RB D’Andre Swift is not expected to play today due to an illness. Swift has 1,049 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns in 16 games this season. Now, he will get a week off and looks to recover in time for the playoffs next week.
Philadelphia Eagles Moving Forward
So, what do the Eagles have to play for today? While Philadelphia has clinched a playoff berth already, their seeding is not locked in yet. The Eagles still have to try to win the NFC East.
However, the chances of that happening took a major hit after the loss to the Arizona Cardinals last week. Now, Philadelphia has to win this game to have any chance at winning the NFC East. On top of this, the Eagles have to hope that the Dallas Cowboys lose to the Washington Commanders.
