The Philadelphia Eagles have decided to rest key players, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, for their final regular-season game against the New York Giants, as they cannot improve their playoff seeding. This strategic move aims to prepare for the upcoming Wild Card Weekend, where they will face either the Green Bay Packers or the Washington Commanders.

With Hurts sidelined, the Eagles will focus on developing younger talent. Connor Barwin, the team's head of football development and strategy, is overseeing this initiative. Barwin's experience as a former Pro Bowl player allows him to provide valuable insights into player development.
