The Eagles will start MVP candidate Jalen Hurts, while the Giants will turn to recently elevated practice squad quarterback Davis Webb for Sunday’s regular-season finale, according to ESPN.
Hurts will suit up for Philadelphia after missing the team’s past two games due to an injury to his throwing shoulder. The Eagles have lost both of those contests, putting them in danger of missing out on the NFC’s No. 1 seed and a first-round playoff bye. Philadelphia (13–3) needs a win or tie against New York—or losses by the Cowboys (12–4) and 49ers (12–4)—to clinch the top seed on Sunday.
Hurts was limited in all of the Eagles’ practices this week, but coach Nick Sirianni said the 24-year-old was “trending in the right direction” to play. When Hurts has been on the field this season, the third-year quarterback has been spectacular, racking up 3,472 yards and 22 touchdowns through the air in addition to rushing for 747 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground.
