The Philadelphia Eagles entered their bye week feeling like a different team.
Come Monday Night Football this week, they’ll actually look like one.
True to form, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman attacked his team’s most glaring roster weaknesses, adding two veteran cornerbacks in Michael Carter II and Jaire Alexander, and a productive young edge defender in Jaelan Phillips.
Fans are still trying to wrap their heads around the Alexander move, but he’s the kind of big-name talent that Roseman loves to buy low on. Carter should integrate into the defense right away, spelling Cooper DeJean at the nickel spot while opening up more opportunities to kick DeJean outside.
