Eagles’ Kamu Grugier-Hill out, three others questionable vs. Giants

The Philadelphia Eagles have ruled LB Kamu Grugier-Hill out against the New York Giants and listed three other starters as questionable.

The Philadelphia Eagles will be without at least one starter against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, and could be without at least three others when kickoff arrives.

After failing to clear league protocol, Philadelphia officially ruled linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill out for the Week 14 contest. Replacing Grugier-Hill will be rookie T.J. Edwards, who has recorded 17 tackles in 12 games this season.

Meanwhile, the Eagles also announced that wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee), running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) and defensive end Derek Barnett (ankle) are all questionable.

Both Agholor and Barnett were unable to practice this week and head coach Doug Pederson said each player would be a game-time decision.

If Agholor is unable to play, Joshua Perkins will serve as the team’s fourth receiver behind Alshon Jeffery, Greg Ward and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside. And if Barnett is unable to go, Vinny Curry and Josh Sweat will share time as fill-ins.

Pederson seemed more optimistic about the status of Howard despite the fact that he still hasn’t been cleared for contact.

Finally, right tackle Lane Johnson missed his consecutive practices this week, but Pederson said that was not injury related and that Johnson will play against the Giants.

Derek Barnett, Nelson Agholor to be game-time decisions for Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles could be without two of their key starters, as Nelson Agholor and Derek Barnett are expected to be game-time decisions for Monday night’s contest against the New York Giants.

Pederson also said that Kamu Grugier-Hill is still in the concussion protocol and could miss the contest as well.

Pederson said he’s comfortable with just three healthy wide receivers on the 53 man roster if Agholor can’t play since tight end Joshua Perkins was called up from the practice squad last week.

Kamu Grugier-Hill reported symptoms and was placed in concussion protocol on Thursday, but the extra day of preparation should be of benefit for the versatile linebacker.

Barnett is nursing an ankle injury, while Nelson Agholor was out with a knee again. Jordan Howard still has not been cleared for contact and could miss his fourth game in a row.

4 takeaways from Eagles 17-10 loss to the Patriots

The Philadelphia Eagles are now 5-5 on the season after blowing a 10-point lead against the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.

The Eagles defense showed up in full force and looks to be rounding into form after battering Tom Brady during a dominant first half by Philadelphia. After a late second-quarter touchdown, The Eagles scored zero points and are now a full game behind the Dallas Cowboys in the win column.

With the Seahawks coming to the Linc next Sunday, here are four takeaways from the Birds 17-10 loss to the Patriots.

1. Eagles aren’t a serious playoff contender without deep threat

Nelson Agholor had four catches for 40-yards, while Zach Ertz led the Birds with nine catches for 94 yards, deep passing yards were hard to come by. The Eagles went away from Miles Sanders after a strong first half. Even with Alshon Jeffery back, this Eagles offense works too hard to gain big chunks of yards.
