Philadelphia Eagles should only use Sidney Jones as backup this week

The injury plague has once again reached the Philadelphia Eagles secondary. They went from having six cornerbacks on board, who were guaranteed to make the roster in August, to only three healthy players in October. Two of which, weren’t even originally supposed to make the team.

The Eagles don’t have a choice at this point, though. There’s no way they can be picky. This week, only Rasul Douglas, Craig James, and Orlando Scandrick were set to play as of Thursday. Cre’Von LeBlanc and Jalen Mills are still off the active roster, while Avonte Maddox and Ronald Darby continue to nurse injuries.
