• Eagles HC Doug Pederson announced Wednesday that S Chris Maragos will remain on the PUP list for the remainder of the season after recently undergoing a second surgery on his right knee: “It’s been unfortunate for him. He’s been battling this the whole season … but Chris has been such an instrumental part of this team. [We’ve] kept him involved with the defense, with special teams. Gosh, he’s such an inspiration to a lot of the guys with his leadership.” (Mike Kaye)

Giants
