Eagles' Nick Sirianni: Resting Key Players in Week 18 vs. Giants 'a Consideration'

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said that he has considered resting key players in this week's matchup against the New York Giants.

Per Fox Sports' Ralph Vacchiano, Sirianni said that sitting key players is "a consideration," as the Eagles are already locked into the No. 5 seed unless the Dallas Cowboys lose to the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

"I'm not saying yes, I'm not saying no," Sirianni said. "I'm saying everything's discussed."

The Eagles could end up with a higher seed than No. 5, but it would take some external help. Philadelphia needs to win on Sunday to win the NFC East, but it would also need the Cowboys to lose to the 4-12 Commanders, who have lost seven games in a row.
