Nick Chubb Highlights Eagles-Browns Inactives for Week 6

Key Inactives for Eagles vs. Browns

The Philadelphia Eagles have officially revealed the inactives list for their highly anticipated 2024 NFL Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Notably, Nick Chubb will be sitting out, which could alter the dynamics of the game. The Eagles announced that several players will not play, including Tanner McKee, Nick Gates, Darian Kinnard, Trevor Keegan, Eli Ricks, and Byron Young.

Implications for Game Strategy

Jack Driscoll has seemingly leapfrogged Nick Gates in the depth chart, although Driscoll is currently on the practice squad and has been temporarily elevated for this game. He is expected to serve as the Eagles' backup center, despite having no regular-season experience at that position. Gates, Kinnard, Keegan, Ricks, and Young are healthy scratches.

Under the NFL’s third quarterback rule, Tanner McKee is only eligible to play if both Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett are injured during the game, adding a layer of complexity to the Eagles’ game plan. For the Browns, starting cornerback Denzel Ward is active after being listed as questionable.

Full List of Inactives:

• QB Tanner McKee
• OL Nick Gates
• OL Darian Kinnard
• OL Trevor Keegan
• CB Eli Ricks
• DT Byron Young
• LB Jordan Hicks (Former Eagles linebacker)

As fans gear up for the game, the absence of Nick Chubb emphasizes the shifting strategies on both sides, particularly for the Eagles as they look to clinch a victory.
