At this point, the NFL is a war of attrition, and the Philadelphia Eagles aren't winning. They will be starting Joe Milton III at quarterback after benching Tanner McKee. However, Milton will enter his first NFL start without multiple starting receivers.
The Eagles have ruled out star receiver DeVonta Smith, who has only played in four games this season. They have also ruled out Dontayvion Wicks. He has not played since Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers .
In addition, Philadelphia has ruled out receiver Britain Covey, who has played only on special teams so far this season. However, they still have rookie receiver Makai Lemon. He has 13 receptions for 124 yards. He also had a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys, his first touchdown of the season.

Philadelphia will face off against the New York Giants on Sunday, who currently lead the NFC East. The Eagles are at the bottom of the division at 2-6 after losing their last six games. At this point, their season is in ruins, and the best Philadelphia can hope for is a high draft pick and for quarterback Jalen Hurts to return fully healthy next season. They can also start focusing on offseason targets, especially the offensive line.
