Eagles nearing full strength to begin NFC playoff run
The Eagles are set to face the Giants in the season finale, and after blowing any shot at the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye, they’ll likely travel to an NFC South foe not yet known in the Wild Card round.
Unlike last year, Philadelphia will spend the next ten days working out the kinks of inconsistency on both sides of the football as they enter the postseason playing like a team looking towards the offseason.
There are injury concerns to monitor, two assistants who could be replaced, and an offense that needs to regain efficiency in the running game.
With preparation for the wild card round set to begin, Philadelphia is nearing full strength ahead of the divisional round.
Slay recently missed his third game in a row following arthroscopic knee surgery.
The five-time Pro Bowl cornerback is expected to return to action before the regular season concludes, and he’ll provide the biggest jolt of energy to a beleaguered secondary.
Through 12 appearances this season, Slay has recorded 57 tackles, 15 pass breakups and two interceptions.
