Following the Philadelphia Eagles‘ 24-19 win over the New York Giants, Doug Pederson revealed that running back Ryan Mathews has a herniated disk in his neck. The injury will require Mathews to have surgery and miss the final game of the season. The injury occurred on a third down carry in the red zone after colliding with a Giants lineman. Despite the injury, Mathews stayed in the game and attempted another run on fourth down, but he was halted short of the line of scrimmage.
In all likelihood, Mathews’ tenure with the Eagles has come to an end.
