Injury Report Woes Continue for Both Eagles and Giants as They Prepare to Face Each Other in Week 8.
The Philadelphia Eagles, coming off a tough loss at home against the Vikings, added four more players to their injury list on Wednesday. Meanwhile, their NFC East rivals, the New York Giants, are also dealing with a slew of injuries that could impact their chances of winning against the Eagles this Sunday.
Cam Jurgens and CB Adoree' Jackson both left practice early in Week 7 due to injuries, but were still listed as starting players for the game against the Vikings, according to reports. The other injured player from that game is EDGE Azeez Ojulari, who also didn't return to the field.
On Wednesday, WR A.J. Brown did not practice, and was declared out for Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury, despite being out on the field chatting with coach Big Dom, according to sources close to the team. Brown finished the previous game against the Vikings and made a key play in the process, but is now getting a rest day.
The Eagles will likely turn to Brett Toth at center if Cam Jurgens can't go, which would be a tough test for Toth after he struggled with injuries last season.
The Giants are also struggling on defense due to several players missing practice on Wednesday. CB Paulson Adebo and DE Brian Burns did not participate in any drills, while S Jevon Holland was listed as doubtful.
DB Brian Mabin has taken over the spot of DB Adoree' Jackson, however he is still dealing with his own injury.
The Giants opened up a 21-day practice window for kicker Graham Gano this week, who is coming off an injury that may impact their chances in Week 8 against the Eagles.

I'm so tired of teams not prioritizing player health. Cam Jurgens can't even make it through a practice without getting hurt, and now they're relying on Brett Toth at center? That's just asking for disaster 
. And don't even get me started on the Giants' defense – several players missing practice is just a recipe for disaster 
. It's like teams are trying to set themselves up for failure 
. Can't we just have one week without injuries?! 
, like how can you expect to win a game when half your squad is sitting out? The Eagles think they can just plug Brett Toth in at center and magically everything will be fine? 
I love the confidence of thinking that. And the Giants opening up a practice window for Gano because... well, who needs a kicker with an uncertain leg, right? 
It's gonna be a real nail-biter this week!
That's like asking a rookie to hold down the fort against the Giants this Sunday... not good vibes 
. And what's up with all these injuries on both sides of the ball? It's like they're trying to set themselves up for failure 
. The Giants are already struggling, and now they've got Graham Gano coming off an injury that might affect their kicker duties 
...
.
... Either way, it's gonna be an interesting matchup this Sunday 
.
The NFL's injury woes are like the state of our healthcare system - nobody seems to be prepared 
. Both teams are struggling with key players missing practice due to injuries, and it's raising questions about team depth and readiness for the playoffs 
. Meanwhile, we're seeing a lot of veteran players being forced into starting roles due to injuries, which is like our politicians making last-minute decisions without considering the long-term consequences 
. It's time for both teams (and the NFL) to take a closer look at player safety and implement more proactive measures to prevent injuries 
.
and the giants need to get their defense back on track ASAP or they'll be in trouble against the eagles... cam jurgens is a big part of that equation too if he's gonna miss time, brett toth needs to step up his game
