Continued poor play combined with injuries to key players resulted in a 27-10 loss to the New York Giants, helping the Dallas Cowboys win the NFC East crown and a home game in the playoffs.
Jalen Hurts hurt his fingers before returning to finish the game at quarterback. Additionally, star wide out A.J. Brown suffered a knee injury and did not return in the first half.
After the game, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni had no details on the extent of Brown’s injury, although he emphasized the receiver’s morale after the loss.
“A.J. was the first to greet everyone in the locker room,” Sirianni told CBS Philadelphia reporters. “I feel terrible whenever one of our players gets hurt.“
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo noted that Brown “doesn’t believe an injury” would allow him to be ready to start the Eagles’ season
