Eagles Could Be Shorthanded vs Giants With Multiple Offensive Starters Injured

The Philadelphia Eagles are one win away from ensuring a playoff berth via the NFC East division title, but registering that victory won't exactly be easy.

Philly's had trouble putting away divisional opponents this season despite the fact that the Redskins and Giants feature some...less than talented rosters. In their last matchup against New York at Lincoln Financial Field, it took a second-half comeback and overtime to avoid a disappointing defeat on Monday Night Football.

This Sunday, the Eagles must win on the Giants' turf, and do so with a depleted unit offensively.

Lane Johnson's absence is expected, as he's nursing an ailing ankle and hasn't participated in team activities since Week 14. Nelson Agholor is also a common name on the injury report. The Eagles wideout hasn't played since Week 13 with a knee injury, and Philly has considered shutting him down for the year.

Zach Ertz, meanwhile, is the largest looming absence of the three. Ertz has emerged as one of the best tight ends in football, and a reliable target for Carson Wentz in a season he's had trouble forming camaraderie with an of Philly's wide receivers.

It's win and you're in for the Eagles, and they'll need to lean on Wentz more than ever.
