This Sunday a classic NFC East rivalry is renewed when the New York Giants welcome the Philadelphia Eagles to town for a game which both teams desperately need to win. The Eagles have an overwhelming advantage in depth for this game. The Giants have quadruple the amount of players on their Week 5 injury report than the Eagles do.
The Eagles once again have a very short and sweet injury list, just the way they like it. Free safety Patrick Chung has been limited in practice this week with a shoulder injury. Chung will likely be a game-time decision for Sunday's game. He is listed as questionable. Cornerback Brandon Boykin is also dealing with a shoulder injury. Boykin was limited on Wednesday but fully participated in Thursday and Friday's practices. He is listed as probable for Sunday. Defensive end Fletcher Cox (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice, and will likely play Sunday. Cox is also listed as probable.
Now let's sort through the dirty laundry that is the New York Giants' Week 5 injury report. The Giants have officially placed guard Chris Snee on season-ending Injured Reserve, to open up a roster spot for linebacker Jon Beason, according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. Snee will likely undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum in his hip. Cornerback Aaron Ross was also placed on season-ending IR with a back injury, to make room for safety Will Hill on the 53-man roster.
Cornerback Jayron Hosley (hamstring) , tight end Adrien Robinson (foot), defensive tackle Linval Joseph (ankle/knee), and center David Baas (neck) were all held out of practice this week and will not play in Sunday's game against Philadelphia.
If being short two cornerbacks for Sunday's game wasn't troubling enough for the Giants, they will likely be down three CB's. Corey Webster was limited in practice Wednesday and missed practice Thursday and Friday with a groin injury. Webster is listed as doubtful.
Defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins (knee/Achilles) sat out of Wednesday and Thursday's practices and was limited on Friday. Jenkins is listed as questionable. Wide receiver Louis Murphy (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is also questionable for Sunday's game.
Linebacker Mark Herzlich (toe), defensive tackle Sean Rodgers (back), and cornerback Terrell Thomas (knee) all missed practice Wednesday and had limited reps in practice on Thursday and Friday. They are listed as probable. Unless they are physically unable, Rodgers and Thomas will likely have to play Sunday, considering how thin the Giants are at corner and defensive tackle.
