Tight End:

21 snaps: Richard Rodgers

Richard Rodgers has been the best tight end on the Eagles roster this season, telling you everything you need to know about what’s taking place.

Offensive Line:

67 snaps: Jason Peters
67 snaps: Sua Opeta
67 snaps: Jason Kelce
67 snaps: Matt Pryor
67 snaps: Lane Johnson

1 snap: Jack Driscoll

Isaac Seumalo returned to practice but apparently was ready for game action. Nate Herbig was sidelined with a finger injury and the Eagles were forced to start Sua Opeta at left guard and he struggled. The Eagles can’t play Jordan Mailata unless Peters moves to guard and the Eagles won’t put their best five on the field until that happens.

Defensive Line:

56 snaps: Fletcher Cox

46 snaps: Derek Barnett

46 snaps: Brandon Graham

36 snaps: Malik Jackson

35 snaps: Javon Hargrave

25 snaps: Josh Sweat

25 snaps: Vinny Curry

16 snaps: T.Y. McGill

The Eagles’ defensive line combined for three sacks, but they were dominated in the running game by a Giants offensive line that has struggled for the bulk of the 2020 season.

Linebacker:

71 snaps: Alex Singleton

53 snaps: T.J. Edwards

51 snaps: Duke Riley

5 snaps: Shaun Bradley

3 snaps: Davion Taylor

Singleton and Edwards combined for 28 tackles, but a lot of those plays took place after positive yards were gained. After having his praises sung all week, T.J. Edwards lost snaps to Alex Singleton.

Defensive Back:

71 snaps: Rodney McLeod

69 snaps: Jalen Mills

69 snaps: Darius Slay

64 snaps: Avonte Maddox

17 snaps: Nickell Robey-Coleman

16 snaps: Cre’Von LeBlanc

6 snaps: Will Parks

1 snap: K’Von Wallace

The Eagles have a cornerback problem again Darius Slay is only one man, meaning the opposing team’s 2nd and 3rd wide receivers will continue to feast. Avonte Maddox and Nickell Robey-Coleman have struggled in coverage and Michael Jacquet could be an option moving forward.
