Who’s in and who’s out.

The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced the inactives list for their 2021 NFL Week 13 game against the New York Giants.

The following Eagles players have been designated as INACTIVE: Jalen Hurts, Jordan Howard, Marlon Tuipulotu, Tay Gowan, Mac McCain, and Kary Vincent Jr.

Hurts is officially OUT. He was ruled questionable on the final injury report after being limited in practice all week due to his ankle sprain. On Saturday night, Derrick Gunn reported Hurts wouldn’t play against the Jets and Gardner Minshew would start in his place. Minshew is making his first start with Philly.

Reid Sinnett is active as Minshew’s backup. It’s the first time he’s dressed for an Eagles game since joining the team in late October.

Howard is missing his second straight game due to a knee injury. The Eagles have three running backs active in his absence: Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, and Kenneth Gainwell. Scott is indeed playing after being ruled questionable on the final injury report after missing practice all week due to illness. It remains to be seen if his missed time will impact his snap count. Sanders figures to lead the way at running back but Scott and/or Gainwell could be in line for touches as well.

The other players are regular healthy scratches. No surprises there. RB Jordan Howard – Injury.
