LB Olivier Vernon was not listed on Wednesday's Giants injury report and is expected to make his season debut Thursday night against the Eagles.

Vernon, a key piece in the Big Blue defense, has been recovering from an ankle injury since the preseason. He was limited at practice on Wednesday along with K Aldrick Rosas

TE Evan Engram (knee) and WR Russell Shepard (neck) won't play for the Giants against the reigning Super Bowl champs.

Engram had hoped to play Thursday after missing the last two games with a right MCL sprain. He practiced at full speed on Wednesday, even making cuts on the field. The Giants, however, have opted to delay his return with a 10-day break following Thursday's game.

TE Rhett Ellison (foot) is listed as questionable.
