Running back Brian Westbrook, wideout Kevin Curtis and defensive tackle Trevor Laws all won’t be in uniform Sunday night as the Eagles take on the Giants with the NFC East lead on the line.
Westbrook (concussion) and Curtis (knee) both continued to recover from long-term injuries and Laws battled a hip injury. Laws sitting out came as no surprise even if he was really considered a healthy scratch since he was listed as probable entering Sunday.
The rest of the grounded Birds were offensive linemen Stacy Andrews, Mike McGlynn, running back P.J. Hill, corner Geoffrey Pope and third-string QB Kevin Kolb.
The good news was that rookie wideout Jeremy Maclin was able to play despite battling a foot injury. He will start aside DeSean Jackson who will be back after missing last week with a concussion.
Expect LeSean McCoy and Leonard Weaver to carry the load at running back with B-West out for the fourth-straight week.
There were also no big surprises on the Giants' inactive list. Wideouts Sinorice Moss and Ramses Barden were a no go as well as tackles Adam Koets and Guy whimper, tight end Bear Pascoe, defensive tackle Rocky Bernard, running back Gartrell Johnson and corner DJ Johnson.
