What Will Eagles O-Line Look Like in Week 16 vs. Giants?
Over the last few seasons, the most dominant and consistent position group in football has been the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line.
2023 hasn't been the best year for that group though and now the injury bug has taken a few players in recent weeks.

Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson underwent thumb surgery and isn't likely to play in Monday afternoon's contest against the New York Giants. In his place, Sua Opeta will get his sixth start of the season.
Not all the health concerns are bad for Philadelphia's offensive line though. The team welcomed back second-year guard Cam Jurgens to practice after missing Monday night's loss to Seattle with a pec injury.
Should Jurgens be well enough to go in the NFC East matchup, this is how the offensive line will look:
LT - Jordan Mailata
LG - Sua Opeta
C - Jason Kelce
RG - Cam Jurgens
RT - Lane Johnson
This group will have their hands full with a Giants defensive line that may not have a lot of sacks (31st with 24) but has talent. All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence was seen back at practice Saturday morning with a chance to play on Monday.
Former fifth-overall pick Kayvon Thibodeaux has a career-high 11.5 sacks on the season as well.
For an Eagles offense that has struggled to do much of anything in recent weeks, having more shuffles within the offensive line won't help their cause in a game they have to have on Christmas Day.
