Eagles rule WRs DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks out vs Giants

The Philadelphia Eagles are facing a significant blow to their offense as star wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks will miss the upcoming game against the New York Giants. Smith has only played in four games this season due to a hamstring injury, while Wicks has been sidelined since Week 6 with an ankle issue. The Eagles have made it clear that they will not start either of these key players for the game on Sunday.

Additionally, rookie receiver Britain Covey has also been ruled out as he has only contributed on special teams this season. Despite these setbacks, rookie receiver Makai Lemon remains available, having recorded 13 receptions for 124 yards and scoring a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys earlier in the season. The Eagles currently sit at the bottom of the NFC East division with a 2-6 record, after suffering six consecutive losses.

With Joe Milton III set to start at quarterback and their season in jeopardy, the Eagles are focusing on securing a high draft pick and preparing for quarterback Jalen Hurts' return next season. The team is also turning its attention to the offseason, particularly targeting improvements to their offensive line.
