Running back Ryan Mathews, who first popped up on the Eagles' injury report on Friday with a groin issue, is active for their Monday night clash with the Giants.

Mathews tested the groin in pregame warmups and was ruled good to go. He leads the team with 205 rushing yards, 75 more than starter DeMarco Murray in eight fewer carries.

Mathews is averaging 5.0 yards per rush.

With wide receiver Nelson Agholor already ruled out with an ankle injury, fourth-string RB Kenjon Barner is active. The Eagles typically activate six wide receivers and three running backs; for Monday Night Football, it will be five WRs and four backs.

For the Giants, superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is active. He was limited in practice during the week and missed it completely on Friday with a hamstring injury. The last time he faced the Eagles, he had 12 catches for 185 yards and scored a 63-yard touchdown.

Giants No. 2 receiver Rueben Randle is also active. He's been dealing with a hamstring injury but was listed as probable on the Giants' official injury report. Randle had 158 receiving yards the last time these teams met.
