Eagles player to watch
Barkley faces the team that drafted him second overall in 2018. In 74 games with New York, Barkley totaled 5,211 rushing yards – the fourth most yards in Giants history – and had 47 touchdowns (35 rushing, 12 receiving). He was named the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. He signed with the Eagles as a free agent this year.
Giants player to watch
Rookie WR Malik Nabers has cleared the concussion protocol and it’s possible he returns to the lineup after missing two games. The No. 6 overall draft pick led the league with 35 receptions after four weeks. His three touchdowns still lead the team.
Key match
Both defensive lines against the left tackle. Eagles’ Jordan Mailata will be out for a few weeks with a hamstring injury. The Giants will be without Andrew Thomas for the remainder of the season following foot surgery Wednesday. Backup tackle Fred Johnson or Mekhi Becton could replace Mailata. If Becton moved from right guard, he would have to be replaced. The Giants can have Josh Ezeudu start at left tackle, or move right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor to the left side, then start Evan Neal or Ezeudu at right tackle.
Key injuries
Eagles: Mailata (hamstring) and TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) left the game against the Browns and are out along with DT Byron Young (hamstring). CB Eli Ricks (groin) and CB Darius Slay (knee) are questionable. … Giants: Thomas (foot) finished the season. P Jamie Gillan (hamstring) and CB Adoree Jackson (neck) are out. … DT Dexter Lawrence (hip), OLB Brian Burns (groin) and S Dane Belton (illness) are questionable.
