NFL Week 8 Inactives: Discover the Key Players In and Out

As the NFL Week 8 approaches, injuries have reshaped the rosters of both the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles for their clash in Philadelphia. Key players from both teams will miss the matchup due to various injuries.

NFL Week 8 Inactives: Key Players Out

New York Giants Key Inactives

The Giants will face significant challenges as they will be without several starters, particularly in their secondary. Here are the players ruled out:

CB Paulson Adebo (Knee)
DL Chauncey Golston (Neck)
S Jevón Holland (Knee)
T James Hudson III
WR Jalin Hyatt
G Evan Neal
QB Jameis Winston (3rd QB)

Having already ruled out Adebo and Golston on the injury report, the Giants downgraded Holland from doubtful to out before the game.

Recent Roster Moves

In preparation for the game, the Giants activated veteran kicker Graham Gano off injured reserve. Gano has been instrumental this season, making all six field goal attempts and all four extra points. Jude McAtamney, who filled in for Gano during his absence, was waived earlier this week.

Additionally, wide receiver Darius Slayton returns after missing two games due to a hamstring injury. Center John Michael Schmitz, who cleared concussion protocol, is also expected to participate after last playing in Week 6.

Philadelphia Eagles Key Inactives

The Eagles have also announced their inactives for the matchup. Key players missing include:

WR A.J. Brown (Hamstring)
CB Adoree’ Jackson (Concussion)
C Cam Jurgens (Knee)
OLB Azeez Ojulari (Hamstring)
DE Brandon Graham (Recently retired)

In a positive update, Philadelphia activated wide receiver Darius Cooper from injured reserve, potentially boosting their offensive options for the game.

Summary of the Game’s Impact

With both teams missing critical players, the outcome of the game may hinge on which substitutes can step up effectively. The Giants will particularly feel the absence of key defensive players, while the Eagles strive to maintain their competitive edge despite their own injuries.
