Eagles without leading rusher Swift vs. Giants

The Philadelphia Eagles will be without leading rusher D’Andre Swift for their game Sunday against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.

Swift, who was originally listed as questionable due to illness, was placed on the team’s inactive list Sunday.

The Eagles (11-5) need to win and have the Dallas Cowboys (11-5) lose at Washington to clinch their second straight NFC East title.

Philadelphia also will be without second-leading receiver DeVonta Smith, who is ruled out for Sunday’s game with an ankle injury.

Without Swift, Boston Scott will likely see an increased role behind Kenneth Gainwell.

Swift, in his first season with the Eagles, has rushed for a career-high 1,049 yards with five touchdowns. He also has 39 receptions for 214 yards and a touchdown.
