Eagles nearing full strength to begin NFC playoff run

Nick Sirianni says he believes DeVonta Smith, Darius Slay and Zach Cunningham and all players on 53-man roster will be able to play Sunday

The Eagles are set to face the Giants in the season finale, and after blowing any shot at the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye, they’ll likely travel to an NFC South foe not yet known in the Wild Card round.

Unlike last year, Philadelphia will spend the next ten days working out the kinks of inconsistency on both sides of the football as they enter the postseason playing like a team looking towards the offseason.

There are injury concerns to monitor, two assistants who could be replaced, and an offense that needs to regain efficiency in the running game.

With preparation for the wild card round set to begin, Philadelphia is nearing full strength ahead of the divisional round.

Takeaways from A.J. Brown addressing the media ahead of Eagles regular season finale

We’re looking at takeaways and observations from A.J. Brown addressing the media prior to the Philadelphia Eagles matchup vs. New York Giants

The Eagles are looking to enter the postseason on a positive after losing four of their past five games, and with the season finale just days away, A.J. Brown broke his media silence.

Brown praised Nick Sirianni, saying the third year head coach has been taking the heat for Philadelphia players, and even covered for the wide receiver group going rogue in the loss to Seattle a few weeks back.

Brown frustration in the loss to Arizona stemmed from DeVonta Smith suffering an ankle injury on a bubble screen late in the dissapointing loss.

The former Ole Miss star is just 53 yards shy amassing 1,500-yards receiving, becoming the first Eagles receiver to record that amount in a single season.

With the media freeze out now in the past, here are takeaways from the session.

Eagles PFF grades: Best and worst performers from 35-31 loss to Cardinals

We’re looking at the highest and lowest graded players in the Philadelphia Eagles 35-31 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17

The Eagles no longer control their destiny for the No. 2 overall seed and NFC East after a 35-31 loss to the Cardinals at home.

In Jonathan Gannon’s return to Philadelphia, Arizona rushed for 221 yards, with James Conner logging 26 carries for 128 yards and one touchdown.

The Cardinals’ win put the Cowboys in the No. 2 seed entering Week 18, and a victory over Washington would give Dallas the NFC East.

With fans and pundits outraged by the loss, we’re looking at the highest and lowest-graded players via PFF.
