The Giants are set to rest several key starters and their backup quarterback in the Week 18 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

While each team has clinched a berth in the playoffs, the Eagles will look to secure both the NFC East and the NFC’s top playoff seed with a win.

Jalen Hurts is slated to start at quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles in the team’s season finale according to The Inquirer’s Jeff McLane.

The Birds released their final injury report of the regular season, and the Pro Bowl quarterback was listed as questionable for Sunday afternoon’s must-win matchup against the Giants.

Hurts’ was initially listed as “trending in the right direction” to return to the field said Head Coach Nick Sirianni at his Friday morning press conference at the NovaCare Complex.

“We feel good about it,” Sirianni said. “We’ll see how today goes. We’re still thinking through everything. If we feel like after today’s practice and after he goes through his rehab and everything all those different things that he’s ready to go all those things – the contact, the throwing, the hits – it’s all taken into account. He’s ready to play or he’s not ready to play.”

Hurts suffered a sprained right shoulder in the December 18 win at Chicago and missed consecutive losses at Dallas and against New Orleans last Sunday.
