Swift’s absence would open up the door for Kenneth Gainwell, Rashaad Penny and Boston Scott, the latter being known for his incredible production when facing the Giants in his career.

After being traded from the Detroit Lions this past offseason, Swift has been a hit back in his home town of Philadelphia. He ends the regular season with 229 carries for 1,049 yards, five touchdown to go along with 39 catches for 214 yards and another score.

The Eagles will need to beat the Giants and have the Dallas Cowboys lose to the Washington Commanders in order to win the NFC East for a second straight year. However, the Eagles have dug themselves this hole and will likely have to settle for the No. 5 seed in the playoffs for a potential Wild Card meeting with the projected No. 4-seeded Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
