The Eagles just made a bold call on Brandon Graham and A.J. Brown — and it’s sending shockwaves before Week 8 vs. the Giants.QQ
Philadelphia Eagles fans will have to wait to see BG’s debut.
Philadelphia Eagles fans will have to wait to see Brandon Graham’s comeback.
The Birds released their Friday injury report, and while Graham practiced all week as a full participant, he won’t play against the New York Giants.
This isn’t too surprising since the Eagles had planned to ease him into his first game after months away from football.
“What gives me confidence are the practice reps on it and the guys that are executing it,” Sirianni said at beginning of the week. “So it’s the same thing here. We will see how practice goes but have confidence in who BG is as a player and as a person. Like I said, we’ll see where he is by the end of this week and see what we got. But I got confidence in him just because he’s done it for so long and has recently done it. It wasn’t a couple of years ago, it was just last year where he played at a very high level.”

Graham isn’t the only one who will miss Sunday’s game.
Wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring), center Cam Jurgens (knee), cornerback Adoree’ Jackson (concussion), outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari (hamstring), and cornerback Jakorian Bennett (pectoral) have also been ruled out.
Wide receiver Darius Cooper is questionable with a shoulder injury.
Who will the Eagls turn to withou A.J. Brown?
The Eagles have been in situations before where Brown has been sidelined and they’ve managed just fine without him. With Brown out, the Eagles will have DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, John Metchie III, and Xavier Gipson to use.
But that’s not their only options in the air. They can also rely on tight end Dallas Goedert and running backs Saquon Barkley and AJ Dillon in some scenarios.
Last time the Eagles played New York, Goedert finished as Jalen Hurts’ top target with nine catches for 110 yards and one score.
