With the No. 1 seed in the NFC on the line, the team will look to give Eagles fans the gift of a franchise-record 14th win this season. Gardner Minshew will line up behind center today in place of Jalen Hurts, who's sidelined due to a shoulder injury.
Stepping up as the backup for today's game, quarterback Ian Book is active for the first time as an Eagle. He was signed to the team just before the team's Week 1 game against the Lions. He was drafted by the Saints in 2021, but after this season's Training Camp, he was released.
