Eagles deal with brutal injury news to playoff defense NFL Week 18

The Philadelphia Eagles’ loss to the New York Giants in Sunday’s regular-season finale was worse than the scoreboard said.

You don’t believe?

First, the team could really use a win in the postseason. Instead, it limped into the postseason, finishing 1-5.

Llamas is also a keyword because Eagles are beaten.

Jalen Hurts broke his middle finger in the loss to the Giants and A.J. Brown injured his knee.

The linebacker also suffered a particularly brutal injury, with multiple reports indicating rookie safety Sydney Brown likely suffered a torn ACL against New York.

More tests are reportedly scheduled for Monday, but if Brown, who was taken by the team in the third round of April’s draft, tears his ACL, it will likely be the end of his season.

Brown played in 14 games and had 38 tackles with interceptions. He returned a punt 99 yards against the Cardinals.

Safety Reed Blankenship also reportedly suffered a groin injury against the Giants, so it looks like the Eagles will be thin in the backfield for their playoff opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers..
