Brandon Graham Inactive With Rib Contusion
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Brandon Graham, who popped up on the injury report late in the week with a rib contusion, is inactive for Sunday night’s game against the Giants.
Graham suggested that he had been dealing with the injury for a little while now and had been fighting through it, but it became a real bother during Thursday’s practice. He was listed as questionable on the injury report.
A number of other prominent Eagles join him on the inactive list because of injury. Michael Vick [ribs] and Jeremy Maclin [shoulder, hamstring] did not make the trip to New York. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is out with torn tendons in his ankle, and King Dunlap is sidelined with a concussion.
Julian Vandervelde and Phillip Hunt round out the inactive list.
Vince Young will get his first start in an Eagles uniform in place of Vick, while Riley Cooper starts for Maclin at receiver opposite DeSean Jackson.
Evan Mathis, who missed last week’s game against Arizona with a turf toe injury, will start at left guard. Jamaal Jackson is penciled in as his backup.
