"Eagles Face Giants Without Key Players Smith and Slay, Playoff Implications Loom"
The Philadelphia Eagles have announced that wide receiver DeVonta Smith will miss the Week 18 game due to an ankle injury sustained in the previous game against the Cardinals. Additionally, cornerback Darius Slay is ruled out for the fourth consecutive game due to a knee injury. The Eagles' playoff positioning is still uncertain, as their status as NFC East champions depends on the upcoming game against the Giants and the Cowboys' performance against the Commanders. Running back D’Andre Swift is also questionable for the game after being limited in practice due to illness.
