The Philadelphia Eagles will be short-handed Sunday against the New York Giants , missing six players, including three former Pro Bowlers.
Wide receiver A.J. Brown , center Cam Jurgens and recently unretired edge rusher Brandon Graham will be sidelined for the Week 8 matchup.
Brown didn't practice all week due to a hamstring injury after catching four passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles' win over the Minnesota Vikings . The star receiver also dealt with a hamstring issue during training camp.

Jurgens hurt his knee against the Vikings and had to be removed from the game after 15 snaps. Brett Toth replaced Jurgens and will make his first career start at center.
Graham returned to practice earlier this week after coming out of retirement with the Eagles depleted at defensive end following the surprise retirement of Za'Darius Smith and with Nolan Smith still on injured reserve.
Also missing Sunday's game will be cornerbacks Adoree' Jackson (concussion) and Jakorian Bennett (pectoral) and edge rusher Azeez Ojulari (hamstring). Bennett just came off injured reserve.
