For the first time since the Eagles' fourth game of the season against the Detroit Lions, the Birds will likely have their full starting offensive line Thursday night against the New York Giants, as Lane Johnson makes his return from suspension.

Here is the Eagles-Giants inactive list:

• WR Paul Turner: The horror!

• OT Halapoulivaati Vaitai: Lane Johnson once again starts at RT.

• DT Taylor Hart: Hart was signed almost two months ago in anticipation of Logan being out, but he has not yet been active for any game yet.

• DE Steven Means: Deep depth along the defensive line.

• CB Dwayne Gratz: Gratz was a new addition to the team during the past week. He signed a two-year deal, so this was a move made by the Eagles with the idea in mind that he'll compete for a roster spot in training camp next season.

OT Dillon Gordon: Gordon returns to the inactive list after being up for the first time last Sunday.

OG Josh Andrews: Andrews joins Gordon.

 CB Janoris Jenkins: Jenkins has had a standout season for the Giants, and is probably their best corner.

• DE Jason Pierre-Paul: JPP had 53 tackles, 7 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles before suffering an injury against the Steelers earlier this month.

• S Nat Berhe: In seven games this season, Berhe has 21 tackles, 1 forced fumble, and no picks.

WR Tavarres King: Three career catches for 19 yards.

OL Will Beatty: Former starter, now just a back of the roster guy.

RB George Winn: Winn has not yet played this season.

DE Ishaq Williams: Back of the roster guy.
