Eagles’ Inactives for Sunday’s Game
The Philadelphia Eagles have a total of five players ruled out for their game against the New York Giants on October 28, 2025. Four of these inactives were officially ruled out on Friday.
Key Players Ruled Out
- Wide receiver Darius Cooper returns from Injured Reserve after missing four games with a shoulder injury.
- Brett Toth is set to make his first career start at center, replacing Landon Dickerson who was inactive in the previous game.
- Jalyn Brown and Sam Howell (3rd quarterback) are also ruled out for Sunday’s game.
Giants’ Inactives and Roster Adjustments
The New York Giants will be without key players on both sides of the ball. Notably, cornerback Paulson Adebo and safety Jevon Holland will miss the game due to injuries.
Injuries and Substitutions
- Outside linebacker Brian Burns, despite being questionable with a hip injury, is officially active for the game against the Eagles.
- Kicker Graham Gano returns from Injured Reserve this week.
- New York also elevated wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey and safety Raheem Layne from the practice squad on Saturday. Humphrey had previously played against the Eagles in Week 6, catching four passes for 55 yards.
Key Players Expected to Play
Nakobe Dean will make his first game appearance at Lincoln Financial Field since his season-ending injury last year during the playoffs. Dean is expected to play a significant role in Philadelphia’s defense as he returns to action after missing several games.
Xavier Gipson, who was claimed by the Giants early this season but never played, will face his former team for the second time of the year. Gipson brings valuable experience and familiarity with the Eagles’ playbook.
Future Implications
The inactives list provides insight into both teams’ strategies going forward. For the Philadelphia Eagles, the absence of key players like A.J. Brown, Sam Howell, Adoree’ Jackson, and Cam Jurgens could significantly impact their offensive and defensive capabilities.
On the other side, New York’s inability to field Adebo and Holland will likely weaken its secondary defense, making the game a crucial one for both teams in terms of team morale and confidence heading into the second half of the season.
