Fletcher Cox among 6 Eagles inactive for season finale at Giants

The Eagles released their inactive list for the season finale, and Fletcher Cox is among six players ruled out.

It’ll be a rest day for Cox, while D’Andre Swift (illness), Darius Slay (knee), and DeVonta Smith (ankle) were previously ruled out.

Linebacker Zach Cunningham, who missed the last three games because of a knee injury, returns to the field today as the Eagles get fully healthy at linebacker.

Philadelphia elevated safety Tristin McCollum from the practice squad yesterday.

The Giants will be without starting center John Michael Schmitz and cornerback Deonte Banks, who are inactive due to injuries.
