Eagles 53-man roster for season finale vs. Giants

With the Eagles losing four of their last five games, head coach Nick Sirianni is expected to play all his available starters and contributors in the season finale against the Giants.

Even with pundits and experts running with the sit-your-starters talking points, the Birds have about a 13% chance to win the division, and crazy things happen during the final week of the regular season.

The second of two matchups against the New York Giants in the past three weeks, Philadelphia will look to win and hope for a Dallas loss to Washington to secure the NFC East and No. 2 overall seed.

With kickoff fast approaching, here’s an updated 53-man roster for Week 18.

#0 D'Andre Swift, RB

Swift could miss the season finale with an illness.

The Eagles have already clinched a playoff berth and will need to beat the Giants and have the Cowboys lose to secure the NFC East.

Last season, Brown shattered the franchise record for the most receiving yards in franchise history with 1,496, on the way to second-team All-Pro honors.

Through 17 games this season, Brown is 50 yards from breaking his franchise single-season record, while also breaking DeVonta Smith’s single-season franchise mark for most receptions by a wide receiver, currently at 105.

Brown is first Eagles wide receiver with 1,200 yards in back-to-back seasons.
