Philadelphia Eagles versus NY Jets Week 13 inactives
This wouldn’t be an ideal time for the Philadelphia Eagles to buck tradition and start losing to the New York Jets. They don’t see each other often. As you know, unless they wind up in the Super Bowl as representatives of their respective conferences, these two proud franchises will only see each other once every four years. The addition of a 17th regular-season game has altered that some in 2021.
Here we are. The Eagles make their third trip to MetLife Stadium this season. They lost to the Jets there to close the preseason, and despite the fact the loss was only by six points, they were embarrassed by the hated New York Giants in Week 12. This one’s a must-win. A loss would be catastrophic in the grand scheme of things as, believe it or not, the Birds are in the middle of a playoff push.
Gametime approaches. Let’s talk about the respective rosters.
Here’s a look at the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets Week 13 inactives.
According to Philadelphia’s Week 13 status report, one that was released on Friday at 3 p.m. EST, two members of what’s becoming a talented committee of Eagles running backs have been a topic of discussion all week, but head coach Nick Sirianni has already stated, during his mid-afternoon presser, that Jordan Howard (knee) is out for Sunday’s game.
Boston Scott (illness) and Jalen Hurts (ankle) are both questionable. We should know more about their statuses as we near kickoff at 1 p.m. EST on Sunday.
On the Jets’ side, they released their status report at about 5 p.m. EST, and here’s what we need to know. Tight end Trevon Wesco (ankle) is doubtful. So is defensive lineman Sheldon Rankins (knee). Wide receiver Corey Davis (groin), linebacker Quincy Williams (calf), tackle Morgan Moses (knee), and defensive linemen John Franklin-Myers (hip) and Foley Fatukasi (back) are all listed as questionable.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ final inactive report will be released 90 minutes before kickoff. Bookmark this one, and watch the space below as we will update this post as soon as we get the information.
Update: The Eagles, at 4 p.m. EST on the eve of their game with the Jets, announce they’re elevating safety Jared Mayden for Week 13’s game. The Jets announce roster moves as well.
