Eagles’ game-day roster for Christmas Day matchup vs. Giants

The New York Giants (5-9) are in Philadelphia on a Monday afternoon for an intriguing Christmas Day matchup against the Eagles (10-4) to help close out the Week 16 slate of games.

Avonte Maddox (pectoral) will wait another week before he returns from Injured Reserve despite being a full participant this week.

Philadelphia will also be without linebacker Zach Cunningham (knee), Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson (thumb), and Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay (knee).

The Eagles will regain starting right guard Cam Jurgens, who missed the Monday night game in Seattle with a pectoral injury.

With on-field warmups underway, we’re looking at the updated 53-man roster for Week 16.

#0 D'Andre Swift, RB

Swift will enter Monday’s matchup 104 yards shy of his first 1,000-yard rushing season.

The All-Pro quarterback is looking to rebound from a disastrous performance in the Monday night loss to the Seahawks.

#2 CB Darius Slay

Slay will miss his second game after undergoing knee surgery.

Smith will play after missing the week of practice with a knee injury.

Reddick has 11 sacks on the season, giving him four straight years of double-digits sacks.

#8 Marcus Mariota, QB

#10 Punter Braden Mann

#11 WR A.J. Brown

#13 WR Olamide Zaccheaus

#14 RB Kenneth Gainwell

#16 WR Quez Watkins

#18 WR Britain Covey

The former Utah wide receiver has an excellent shot at making the Pro Bowl as a punt returner.

The rookie safety offers a physicality that’s been lacking in the Eagles secondary.

#22 CB Kelee Ringo

The rookie from Georgia will start in place on an injured Darius Slay.

#23 RB Rashaad Penny

Penny will likely be inactive again what has been a wasted season.

#24 CB James Bradberry

#31 DB Kevin Byard

#32 DB Reed Blankenship

The second-year undrafted safety is on the verge of being named to his first Pro Bowl.

#33 CB Bradley Roby

Morrow is questionable for the matchup against the Giants with an abdominal injury.

#45 LS Rick Lovato
