Instant grades on the Eagles’ performance in a 20-13 win over the Giants: Quarterback: B+ Tanner McKee got his first career NFL start with the Eagles resting most of their starters. Jalen Hurts couldn’t have played either way as he has yet to clear concussion protocol.
Sirianni went on to say that he is balancing what the best thing is for the Eagles and what the best thing is for the player. In Barkley's case, it would not be a surprise if he is fine with sitting out, as he declined staying in the game to go for a record against the Giants earlier in the season.

Now is not the time, Saquon Barkley says. Reflection comes at the end of this season, no matter the meaningfulness of its milestones. He’s resisting the sound of them toppling like towers. He won’t peek at the panorama of his production.
The Philadelphia Eagles have options at quarterback. Could Tanner McKee or Kenny Pickett be traded for draft capital?
Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore did not sound like a coach concerned he could be entering the playoffs without his starting quarterback.
