Eagles vs. Giants Injury Report: A.J. Brown OUT! Hurts' Options? (2025)

Eagles-Giants Injury Report: A.J. Brown and Brandon Graham Among 6 Players Ruled Out

The Philadelphia Eagles have released their final injury report before their Week 8 home game against the New York Giants, revealing that six key players will be missing from the lineup.

Here's a breakdown of the report and what it means for the Eagles and Giants:

Eagles Out

• A.J. Brown (Wide Receiver): The Eagles' top receiver, Brown, is out with a hamstring injury. This leaves them with just four healthy wide receivers: DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, John Metchie, and Xavier Gipson. Expect DeVonta Smith to be a primary target for Jalen Hurts, but someone else will need to step up and make big plays.
• Brandon Graham (Edge Rusher): Graham, a veteran presence on the defensive line, is out due to a non-injury-related reason. The Eagles will rely on Jalyx Hunt, Joshua Uche, and Patrick Johnson to fill the void. While Vic Fangio has used three-man rotations in the past, this group is relatively inexperienced.
• Cam Jurgens (Center): Brett Toth will likely start at center in Jurgens' absence. Toth has experience at the position, but facing the Giants' formidable defensive line, led by Dexter Lawrence, will be a challenge.
• Adoree' Jackson (Cornerback): Jackson, who has struggled this season, is out with a concussion. Kelee Ringo will start at CB2, but the Eagles' secondary depth is already thin.
• Jakorian Bennett (Cornerback): Bennett, who was practicing earlier in the week, is out with a pectoral injury. His absence further weakens the Eagles' cornerback room.
• Azeez Ojulari (Edge Rusher): Ojulari, who has been dealing with a hamstring issue, is out. The Eagles will have to rely on their remaining edge rushers, who may struggle against the Giants' offensive line.

Eagles Questionable

• Darius Cooper (Wide Receiver): Cooper, who has been a standout undrafted rookie, is questionable with a shoulder injury. He practiced fully on Thursday and Friday, and the Eagles have until Saturday to activate him from injured reserve. Expect them to do so to add depth at wide receiver.

Eagles Reserve/Injured

• Dallas Goedert (Tight End), Landon Dickerson (Guard), Moro Ojomo (Defensive End), Jeremiah Trotter Jr. (Linebacker), and Grant Calcaterra (Special Teams): These players are listed as ready to play despite appearing on the injury report. They are expected to suit up against the Giants.

Giants Out

• Paulson Adebo (Cornerback): The Giants' starting cornerback is out with a knee injury. This leaves Deonte Banks, who has struggled this season, as the only option at corner.
• Chauncey Gholston (Defensive Lineman): Gholston, a rotational defensive lineman, is out with a neck injury.

Giants Doubtful

• Jevon Holland (Safety): Holland, the Giants' starting safety, is doubtful with a knee injury. He didn't practice all week, and his absence, along with Adebo's, means the Giants will be without half of their starting secondary.

Giants Questionable

• Brian Burns (Edge Rusher): Burns, the Giants' starting edge rusher, is questionable with a hip injury. He plans to play despite missing two practices and being limited on Friday.
• D.J. Davidson (Defensive Lineman): Davidson, a rotational defensive lineman, is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited in practice on Wednesday and Friday.
• Graham Gano (Kicker): Gano, the Giants' kicker, is questionable with a hamstring injury. He could be activated from injured reserve to kick for the Giants, or Younghoe Koo might be elevated from the practice squad.

Giants Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform

• Eric Gray (Running Back), Chris Board (Linebacker), Joshua Ezeudu (Guard), Da'Quan Felton (Wide Receiver), Bryce Ford-Wheaton (Wide Receiver), Anthony Johnson Jr. (Safety), Micah McFadden (Inside Linebacker), TJ Moore (Cornerback), Malik Nabers (Wide Receiver), and Rico Payton (Cornerback): These players are listed as unable to perform due to various injuries.

But here's where it gets interesting... The Giants' secondary is in disarray, and the Eagles' offense, led by Jalen Hurts, will look to exploit this. Can the Eagles' defense step up and contain the Giants' struggling receivers? And will the Giants' offense be able to overcome their depleted secondary? It's a crucial game, and both teams will be looking to make a statement.
