The Eagles initially had 12 players land on their injury list at the beginning of the week, but only two players have been ruled out (Lane Johnson, and Avonte Maddox), while Jalen Hurts has been listed as doubtful.
Hurts returned to practice on Thursday in a limited capacity and although he’s been pushing to play, it’ll likely be Gardner Minshew under center against New Orleans.
Philadelphia can win the division and clinch home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs with a win on Sunday.
