Rasul Douglas is active. Does that mean he’ll play or that the other guys are injured worse so they got designated as inactive?
Deiondre’ Hall is active. So is Jordan Mailata. This doesn’t mean they’ll play. That’s just how banged up the Eagles are.
From @NFLGameDay: The #Eagles are planning to feature RB Josh Adams as their starter going forward, an impressive rise for the former UDFA from Notre Dame… and #Chargers RB Melvin Gordon, listed as questioanable, is set to play today. pic.twitter.com/m6vMFL7tYs

Not exactly a scoop here. Adams has been the key RB the past couple of weeks. We’ll see if the Eagles feed him the ball today.
*****
The Eagles jumped on the Giants early in the first game. The Eagles haven’t done that to anyone recently.
It would be great to see the team get off to a good start today. That would certainly boost confidence.
*****
The Giants only have 11 sacks all year. The Eagles OL must win that matchup today and give Wentz time to throw.
*****
While most people are focused on the Eagles backup CBs and how they will cover, I think the real key today will be the tackling by the overall defense. Don’t let the Giants turn quick throws or runs into big gains. Make them work their way down the field.
