The Philadelphia Eagles continue to lose key offensive players to injuries in Sunday's game against the New York Giants.

At the forefront of the list is quarterback Michael Vick, who was ruled as doubtful to return with a broken right (non-throwing) hand. The Eagles then announced during the fourth quarter that wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (hamstring) was doubtful to return and Riley Cooper (concussion) had been ruled out.

Maclin is the Eagles' leading receiver Sunday with five receptions for 69 yards. Jason Avant and Steve Smith were in the lineup as the Eagles attempted a fourth-quarter comeback behind Mike Kafka.
