Will Dawkins play?

The inactives are due out at any moment, and the big question is whether the Eagles' All-Pro free safety will make it to the field. He hurt his back in practice on Friday, and the Eagles re-signed reserve Marcus Paschal on Saturday, prompting a widespread belief that Brian Dawkins was more injured than Andy reid originally let on.

UPDATE: Dawkins is active, Paschal is not, so they must be pretty confident that Dawk can go at full speed. Also, Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce is active. It had been thought he might miss the game with a hamstring injury. Running back Brandon Jacobs and wide receiver Plaxico Burress are both playing, but safety James Butler is out with a hamstring, further weakening a banged up New York secondary.

Also, Brian Westbrook is going to play.
