Eagles' Ryan Mathews suffers neck injury, ending his season

Ryan Mathews' season is over, and he might have played his final game with the Eagles.

The Eagles running back suffered a herniated disk in his neck in Thursday's 24-19 win over the New York Giants. The injury is located in the C6 and C7 spinal segments and will require surgery. Coach Doug Pederson called it a "pretty major deal" that will cause Mathews to miss "some significant time." The Eagles finish their season next Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, meaning the injury would linger into the offseason.

"I don't think it's career [threatening]," Pederson said on Friday.
