The Philadelphia Eagles announced some roster news ahead of their Week 10 Monday Night Football game against the Washington Commanders.
The team placed starting nickel cornerback Avonte Maddox on injured reserve and temporarily elevated rookie defensive back Mario Goodrich from the practice squad.
Maddox to IR is a surprise in the sense that it wasn’t widely known that he got significantly hurt in the Eagles’ Week 9 game against the Houston Texans. He did miss practice all of this week due to a hamstring injury.
Josiah Scott will be Philly’s starter in the slot henceforth.
