Even against the 2-11 New York Giants, the combination of an immobile quarterback and a banged-up offensive line is less than ideal.
So Stefen Wisniewski is doing everything he can to be ready Sunday when the Eagles visit MetLife Stadium, in a game that could clinch a first-round playoff bye for the NFC East champion Birds. They will attempt that feat in the first Eagles start for backup quarterback Nick Foles since 2014.
Wisniewski officially is “questionable” for the game with what would appear to be a high-ankle sprain, given that he declined to answer when a reporter asked Friday if it was a regular sprain or the more serious high-ankle type, and that Wisniewski agreed that declining to say it was the less-serious variety actually was an answer of sorts.
