News

  • May move positions

    Maddox has been getting reps at safety during practice this week, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Maddox is likely to lose his role as the team's slot corner to the Eagles' first-round selection in the 2024 Draft, Quinyon Mitchell. The rookie has been getting first-team reps at slot corner, leaving the veteran Maddox without a clear role in the secondary as things currently stand.

  • Returns to Philly

    Maddox and the Eagles agreed to terms Thursday on a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Maddox has only suited up for 13 regular-season games over the past two years, including just four in 2023 due to a torn pectoral muscle. It makes sense for both sides to reunite on a more team friendly deal now, with Maddox getting a chance to return to form in a familiar system before testing free agency again next offseason. The 28-year-old is capable of contributing at a high level as a nickel corner when healthy.

  • Cut by Philadelphia

    The Eagles released Maddox on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Since inking a three-year, $22.5 million contract extension with the Eagles in November 2021, Maddox has struggled to stay on the field. Over the last two campaigns, he's appeared in only 13 regular-season contests, including just four in 2023 after he suffered a torn pectoral muscle Week 2. His release will save the Eagles approximately $9.6 million in salary-cap space, though Schefter notes that Philadelphia could look to re-sign the cornerback at a lower salary figure.

  • Full participant Thursday

    Maddox (elbow) was a full participant in practice Thursday after being estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough.

    Analysis: Maddox spent 13 games on injured reserve with a torn pectoral muscle before returning for the Eagles' Week 17 loss to the Cardinals, but he came away from that game with the elbow issue. However, the cornerback appears to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's matchup with the Giants. Maddox played on 38 percent of the defensive snaps against Arizona.

  • Now dealing with elbow issue

    Maddox was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walk-through due to an elbow injury.

    Analysis: Maddox returned from a 13-game stint on injured reserve Sunday to log 38 percent of Philadelphia's defensive snaps in a loss to Arizona. His time on IR was due to a torn pectoral muscle, but he's now apparently dealing with an elbow issue. Maddox's practice participation during the remainder of the week should provide insight into his chances of playing Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Giants.

  • Activated off IR ahead of Week 17

    The Eagles activated Maddox (pectoral) off injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Maddox missed 13 games after tearing his pectoral muscle in Week 2 against Minnesota. The veteran cornerback logged a trio of limited practices this week and didn't have an injury designation heading into the weekend, so his activation off IR was fully expected. Maddox's return comes at an opportune time for the Eagles, as Darius Slay will miss his third straight game due to a knee injury.

  • Clear for Sunday

    Maddox (pectoral) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Maddox has missed the Eagles' last 13 games with this pectoral issue, and despite not having an injury designation in Week 17, he must be activated to the team's active roster in order to suit up Sunday. The addition of Maddox would be huge for a Philadelphia secondary that's already without Darius Slay (knee) in Week 17.

  • Won't play Week 16

    Maddox (pectoral) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Though Maddox was a full participant in Saturday's practice, the 27-year-old cornerback did not get activated off injured reserve and he'll miss Philadelphia's Christmas Day contest. With Maddox missing his 13th consecutive game Monday, Eli Ricks and Bradley Roby are expected to see more snaps in the Eagles' secondary.

  • Takes next step for return

    Maddox (pectoral) was designated to return from injured reserve on Thursday.

    Analysis: Maddox can now practice with the team, as this move opens his 21-day window before he needs to be placed on the 53-man roster. His potential return this season would certainly be a boost for the Eagles' struggling secondary; however, it's not clear how quickly the Pittsburgh product will suit up again for Philadelphia, but he'll be eligible to do so as soon as Monday against the Giants.

  • Moving around at practice Friday

    Maddox (pectoral) worked out with trainers Friday, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: That he's mobile enough to work out at this point is a promising development for his chances of returning to game action this season. It will be worth scanning for Maddox's name on Philadelphia's injury reports ahead of Week 16.

  • Could be back this season

    Coach Nick Sirianni wouldn't rule out the possibility of Maddox (pectoral) returning at some point this season when asked about it Friday, Dave Zangoro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Maddox has been on injured reserve since tearing his pectoral in Week 2 against the Vikings. Sirianni didn't provide a timetable for the cornerback's return, but it's encouraging that Maddox still has a chance to play this season.

  • Officially goes on IR

    Maddox (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: Maddox suffered a torn pectoral in the team's win over the Vikings on Thursday and was expected to have surgery this week to repair it. With the expectation being that he could be out for the rest of the season, his move to IR does not come as a surprise.

  • May be done for season

    Maddox will have surgery this week to repair a torn pectoral muscle suffered in Thursday's win over the Vikings and will be out indefinitely, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Maddox suffered the injury in the first half of the game and was unable to return. Although a torn pectoral was deemed likely, further opinions along with an MRI confirmed the diagnosis and best course of recovery. The news is certainly a blow to the Eagles secondary, which currently is also without James Bradberry (concussion) and which sees Reed Blankenship (ribs) at less than full health as well. Maddox will now likely head to IR, while more news on his recovery time should come sometime…read more

  • May have pec tear

    Maddox may have suffered a torn pectoral in Thursday's win over Minnesota, John Clark of NBC Sports reports.

    Analysis: Maddox is one of the better nickelbacks in the league, and the Eagles struggled in coverage after losing him to a shoulder/chest injury Thursday night. They already were playing without CB James Bradberry (concussion), though he could be back as soon as Week 3. If the torn pectoral is confirmed Maddox will miss multiple games and possibly even the rest of the season.

  • Won't return Thursday

    Maddox (shoulder) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against Minnesota, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.

    Analysis: Maddox hurt his left shoulder in the first half and has now been ruled out from returning. Before his departure, he tallied two tackles (one solo). Philadelphia doesn't play again until Monday, Sept. 25, so Maddox will have more time than usual to try to recover in order to be able to play in Week 3.

  • Departs with injury Thursday

    Maddox exited Thursday's game against Minnesota with an apparent left shoulder injury, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Maddox initially visited the medical tent before heading to the locker room. Per McManus, he appeared to be favoring his left arm/shoulder area. Mario Goodrich could see more work while Maddox remains sidelined.

  • Participating in 7-on-7 drills

    Maddox (toe) was spotted working with the first-team defense at Thursday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Maddox had been limited early on in training camp with a toe injury but has since moved past the issue. The 27-year-old battled a variety of injuries last season and appeared in only nine games, recording 43 tackles, three pass breakups and one interception. Expect the veteran to be on the field a lot as the team's third cornerback behind Darius Slay and James Bradberry in 2023.

  • Limited in practice

    Maddox (toe) was a limited participant during training camp Sunday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: Maddox suffered a toe injury toward the end of last season, but he did suit up for the Super Bowl. Whether the injury is still affecting him or he's being held back for precautionary reasons is unknown. However, considering his importance to the Eagles' secondary, it makes sense for the team to err on the side of caution with the 27-year-old.

  • Battles injuries in 2022

    Maddox appeared in nine regular-season games and recorded 43 tackles, three pass breakups, three forced fumbles, one sack, one interception and one fumble recovery across 439 defensive snaps.

    Analysis: Maddox missed multiple games in a row on three separate occasions during the campaign due to a trio of injuries, but when available, he was a force for Philadelphia's stout defense. After missing the divisional-round win over the Giants, the fifth-year cornerback returned to action for the NFL Championship Game and Super Bowl, totaling 10 tackles between those two games. He signed a three-year extension with the Eagles in 2021, so he's still under contract for two more seasons and should remain…read more

  • Set to play in Super Bowl

    Maddox (toe) doesn't have a designation ahead of Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: Maddox picked up a toe injury Week 16 and sat out the Eagles' ensuing three games, but he was able to return for the NFC Championship Game versus the 49ers, recording three tackles on 19 of 41 defensive snaps. He didn't practice at all during the first week of Super Bowl prep, but he followed up back-to-back limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday with all activity to cap this week. As a result, Maddox is poised to be a part of an Eagles cornerback group Sunday that also includes Darius Slay…read more

  • Appears ready for Super Bowl

    Maddox (toe) doesn't have a designation after the first week of preparation ahead of Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 12.

    Analysis: After sustaining a toe injury Week 16, Maddox missed the Eagles' ensuing three games before returning for this past Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers. He since has been listed on Philadelphia practice reports with toe and rest, so despite taking in Friday's session in a walking boot -- per Zach Berman of The Athletic -- Maddox doesn't appear to be in danger of sitting out the Super Bowl considering his lack of designation more than a week ahead of the contest.

  • Not practicing

    Maddox (toe) has a walking boot on his left foot and isn't practicing Friday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Maddox played 19 snaps in the NFC Championship Game after missing more than a month with a toe injury. If he isn't available for the Super Bowl against Kansas City, the Eagles likely will turn back to Josiah Scott as their slot corner in nickel packages. Maddox still has a week to return to practice before the big game.

  • No designation for Sunday

    Maddox (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Maddox returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since suffering the toe injury against Dallas on Dec. 24. He remained limited Thursday but was upgraded to a full participant Friday and has been cleared for game action. The fifth-year cornerback recorded 43 tackles, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, one sack and one interception across nine appearances this season and figures to reprise his role as Philadelphia's top slot corner during the NFC title game.

  • Remains iffy for Sunday

    Maddox (toe) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Maddox is on the verge of missing a fourth consecutive matchup this weekend due to a toe injury, as the fifth-year cornerback said Thursday that he's still taking it day-by-day, per Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia. Maddox also practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, so Friday's practice/injury report should ultimately provide further clarification regarding the 26-year-old's availability for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.

  • Returns to practice Wednesday

    Maddox (toe) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Maddox was back on the practice field for the first time since suffering the toe injury against Dallas on Dec. 24. Because he's been sidelined for just over a month, Maddox will likely have to log at least one full practice by Friday if he wants to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.

  • Could practice again this week

    Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Monday he's "hopeful" that Maddox (toe) will return to practice Wednesday, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Maddox has not practiced or played since he sustained a toe injury in the Week 16 loss to Dallas. While Sirianni did express optimism, he also clarified that the team still needs to see the cornerback perform "the football movements that he has to go out there and do," before deciding if he's fit to play again. The 26-year-old also was seen with a walking boot in the locker room following Saturday's divisional-round win over the Giants, per Frank. Therefore, it could be more likely that Maddox…read more

While the Eagles had a week off during the wild-card round as the No. 1 seed in the NFC, the 26-year-old cornerback will now miss his third consecutive contest due to this issue.

    Maddox (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: As expected, Maddox will miss the regular-season finale due to a toe injury that he suffered during Philadelphia's Christmas Eve loss to Dallas. C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen), who's on track to play in Week 18, will presumably take over Maddox's usual role as the Eagles' primary slot cornerback.

    Maddox suffered a significant toe injury in Saturday's loss to the Cowboys and is now expected to remain out indefinitely, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Maddox is now in line to miss the rest of the regular season after sustaining what has since been revealed as a significant toe injury this past weekend in Dallas. While C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen) is now eligible to come off injured reserve and possibly work in the slot in place of Maddox, the Eagles also have James Bradberry, Darius Slay and Josiah Scott to handle the team's cornerback duties for the time being.

    Maddox (toe) was seen wearing a walking boot on his left foot after Saturday's 40-34 defeat in Dallas, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

  • Back on active roster

    Philadelphia activated Maddox (hamstring) from its injured reserve list to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Giants.

    Analysis: After missing the Eagles' last four games recovering from a hamstring injury, Maddox appears to be in line to play in Week 14. He should reestablish himself as Philadelphia's primary slot corner, an assignment that would draw him across from Richie James on Sunday.

  • Practicing again

    Maddox (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: The Eagles have now opened a 21-day practice window for Maddox to return to the active roster following his stint on IR with a hamstring injury. The cornerback has missed the team's last four games and appears unlikely to be available for Sunday's matchup with the Giants. Maddox has produced 27 tackles, three pass deflections, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over six games this year.

  • IR-bound with hamstring injury

    Philadelphia placed Maddox (hamstring) on its injured reserve list Monday.

    Analysis: Maddox will be forced to miss at least the Eagles' next four games as he recovers from a hamstring injury he seems to have sustained in Week 9 at Houston. Josiah Scott, a 2020 fourth-round pick, will likely operate as Philadelphia's primary slot corner until Maddox is healthy enough to play again.

  • Won't play vs. Washington

    Maddox (hamstring) is listed as out for Monday's game versus the Commanders.

    Analysis: After presumably sustaining a hamstring injury during Philadelphia's win at Houston in Week 9, Maddox will be forced to sit out in Week 10 as he recovers. In Maddox's absence, 2020 fourth-rounder Josiah Scott should operate as the Eagles' primary slot corner Monday night.

    Maddox (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Friday marks Maddox' second consecutive missed practice due to a hamstring issue he picked up during Philadelphia's Week 9 contest in Houston. The 26-year-old will have one more opportunity to log any activity Saturday before he'll have to carry an injury designation into Monday's game against Washington. If Maddox is eventually ruled out, then Zech McPhearson and Josiah Scott (ankle) would be candidates for additional cornerback snaps behind starters James Bradberry and Darius Slay.

    Analysis: Maddox appears to have picked up a hamstring injury during last Thursday's matchup against Houston, and he was unable to participate in this Thursday's practice as a result. Luckily, the 26-year-old gets the benefit of having 10 days worth of rest between Philadelphia's Week 9 and Week 10 contests, but he'll still presumably need to practice in some capacity either Friday or Saturday to have a shot at playing Monday versus Washington.

    Maddox doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Dallas.

    Analysis: Maddox, who's missed back-to-back games due to an ankle issue, is set to make his first appearance since Week 3. Before his injury, the 2018 fourth-round pick was operating as the Eagles' top nickel corner and played over 80 percent of the team's defensive snaps in each of his appearances. He figures to reprise that role against the Cowboys on Sunday.

    Maddox (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on the Eagles' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Maddox has been shut down with an ankle injury since being ruled out ahead of Philadelphia's Week 4 win over Jacksonville. Therefore, his ability to return to practice in any fashion is an encouraging sign for his possible return heading into this Sunday's game versus Dallas.

    Analysis: Maddox was seen in a walking boot on Philadelphia's sideline after suffering an ankle injury during the team's Week 4 win over Jacksonville. While the 26-year-old did not suit up for the second straight practice, he was seen running light sprints and working on agility drills off to the side Thursday, per Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer. If Maddox cannot log a limited practice Friday, expect Zech McPhearson to step in as the Eagles' nickel corner during Sunday's game against Arizona.

    Analysis: Maddox was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Week 4's win over the Jaguars, which ultimately led to him sitting out the contest. He was seen in a walking boot on the sideline during the game, although it was expected to a short-term injury. He is officially questionable for Week 5 against the Cardinals.

  • Status uncertain for Week 5

    Maddox (ankle) has an uncertain status for Sunday's game against Arizona, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Maddox didn't play in the Eagles' Week 4 win over the Jaguars due to an ankle sprain, and he was seen in a walking boot after the game. However, even if he's unable to suit up against the Cardinals, the cornerback isn't believed to be dealing with a long-term injury.

  • Spotted in walking boot

    Maddox (ankle) was wearing a walking boot during the team's 29-21 win over the Jaguars on Sunday, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: Maddox was ruled out before the game, but his appearance in a walking boot suggests he still may not be ready to return in Week 5 against the Cardinals. His status in practice throughout next week should shed a better light on his recovery time.

  • Ruled out for Week 4

    Maddox (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Maddox landed on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to an ankle injury, and while the extent of the issue remains unclear, it's severe enough to force him out of Week 4. The fifth-year defensive back has operated as the team's primary slot corner, so his absence will be a significant loss with Christian Kirk and the Jaguars coming to town.

  • No injury designation for Week 3

    Maddox doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington.

    Analysis: Maddox logged back-to-back limited practices with a back issue, but he was a full participant Friday and will be good to go for Sunday. Across two games, the veteran defensive back has recorded 11 tackles and one interception across 103 defensive snaps.

  • Nabs INT in win

    Maddox, who was limited at Wednesday's practice with a back injury, had eight tackles (four solo) and one interception during Monday's 24-7 win against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Maddox finished as the Eagles' second-leading tackler behind inside linebacker T.J. Edwards in Week 2. The cornerback also made a leaping interception on a pass intended for wide receiver Adam Thielen in the third quarter, marking the second of three picks thrown by quarterback Kirk Cousins on Monday. Maddox should attract plenty of targets while playing in coverage alongside Darius Slay and James Bradberry this season.

  • Limited in Wednesday's walkthrough

    Maddox (back) was limited during Wednesday's walkthrough.

    Analysis: Maddox recorded eight tackles and one interception across 48 defensive snaps during Monday's win over the Vikings, but he presumably picked up a back issue as well. If he doesn't get upgraded to a full participant Thursday or Friday, he may be in danger of missing his first contest of the season.

  • Returns to active roster

    Maddox was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: Maddox spent a week in COVID protocols and was forced to miss Week 18 against the Cowboys. Now that he's cleared protocols, he should return to his starting cornerback job against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Maddox was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after testing positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Maddox had four tackles and a pass breakup during Sunday's win over Washington, but he's now on the COVID list in advance of Week 18. He can still clear the league protocols in time for Saturday's matchup with the Cowboys.

    Maddox (knee) doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Maddox was a full participant in Friday's practice and will be available Sunday after his injury designation was removed. He will likely assume his usual slot corner role against Denver in Week 10.

  • Limited practice Thursday

    Maddox (knee) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: The cornerback suffered the knee injury in Week 9 against the Chargers, but his return to practice is a step in the right direction for his availability for Sunday against the Broncos. Maddox's participation in Friday's practice will provide additional clarity to the situation. If he can't go in Week 10, Josiah Scott and Zech McPhearson would likely take on larger roles in the Eagles' secondary.

    Maddox (knee) was a nonparticipant at Wednesday's practice, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Maddox returned to Sunday's loss to the Chargers after suffering the knee injury, but the issue is apparently still bothersome a few days later. The 25-year-old may need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday in order to have a chance of playing Week 10.

    Maddox (knee) has returned to Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Maddox injured his knee in the first quarter of the Eagles' Week 9 matchup, but he has returned to the contest. He will reclaim his role as Philly's slot corner -- which had gone to strong safety Andre Chachere during his absence -- for the remainder of Sunday's game.

    Maddox (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Maddox suffered a knee injury during the first quarter of the Eagles' Week 9 matchup with the Chargers. If he is unable to return, Zech McPhearson will be Philly's only healthy backup cornerback behind Darius Slay and Steven Nelson for the remainder of the contest.

  • Picked on in win

    Maddox put up eight tackles (three assisted) and defended a pass in Sunday's 32-6 win over Atlanta.

    Analysis: Maddox played 45 of 72 total snaps as the Eagles' nickel corner. He'll likely see a lot of opportunities to rack up stats this season as opposing quarterbacks look to avoid Darius Slay.

  • Competition for starting job

    Maddox will compete with the recently signed Steven Nelson for a spot at corner opposite Darius Slay, Dave Spadaro of the Eagles' official site reports.

    Analysis: Maddox originally looked set to reprise his 2020 role opposite Slay despite ranking as one of the worst corners in the league, but now Nelson is in the mix as well. As a result of the 25-year-old Maddox's poor play, there had been rumors of a move to nickel corner all offseason, so he should retain a job of some sort no matter how things play out with Nelson in camp.

  • Struggles in Year 3

    Maddox (knee) had 40 tackles (36 solo) and three defensed passes through 10 games in 2020.

    Analysis: Maddox showed potential as a rookie back in 2018, but he's since endured back-to-back injury-shortened campaigns. Moving to the outside in 2020 also didn't prove helpful for the 5-foot-9 cornerback, who opposing teams picked on whenever he was active. In all, Maddox allowed a 67.4 percent completion rate when targeted, and he's now gone two straight years without an interception. Maddox will need to focus on bouncing back in 2021, the final year of his rookie deal, so it's worth noting that new…read more

  • Moves to injured reserve

    Maddox (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: Coach Doug Pederson said earlier this week the 24-year-old would "miss some time the next couple weeks" after suffering the knee injury last Sunday against the Saints, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next three games. The Eagles will need to make the playoffs for Maddox to have a chance of seeing game action again this season.

  • Set to miss multiple games

    Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Maddox (knee) will "miss some time in the next couple weeks," Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear precisely what Maddox is dealing with, but he won't play in the Week 15 matchup against the Cardinals and is in danger of missing further time. The Eagles' secondary also lost Rodney McLeod (torn ACL) for the season, and Darius Slay went into concussion protocol Sunday. If Slay isn't healthy for the matchup against Arizona, Nickell Robey-Coleman will operate as the No. 1 cornerback with a bevy of inexperienced players behind him on the depth chart.

  • Hurts knee Sunday

    Maddox left Sunday's game against the Saints with a knee injury.

    Analysis: Maddox exited in the second quarter. For the time being, Nickell Robey-Coleman could bump outside from his typical slot spot. Otherwise, either Kevon Seymour or Jameson Houston will handle the outside in place of Maddox.

  • Ready for Thursday night

    Maddox (ankle) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's divisional contest against the Giants.

    Analysis: Maddox was limited in Wednesday's practice, but it appears as though he's on track to resume handling his usual starting role at cornerback. Philadelphia's secondary has struggled with Maddox out of the lineup the past three weeks, but the unit will now have an opportunity to get right against Daniel Jones and the Giants.

  • Estimated as LP

    Maddox (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.

    Analysis: Maddox has missed the last three games, and his estimated LP doesn't necessarily provide optimism for a return for Thursday's game versus the Giants, as the cornerback was limited all week leading up to a Week 6 loss to the Ravens, for which he ultimately was inactive. Still, he'll likely carry a questionable tag into Thursday's divisional clash. If he's unable to go, Nickell Robey-Coleman is expected to start in his place again.

  • Ruled out again

    Maddox (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Maddox managed to string together a trio of limited practices this week, but he wasn't able to do enough to avoid missing his third straight game. On a brighter note for the Eagles, Darius Slay (concussion) is listed as questionable to face the Ravens and has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol.

    Maddox (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Maddox was forced to miss his second straight game Sunday with the ankle issue, but the fact that he was able to practice in some capacity is a positive sign. With Darious Slay stuck in concussion protocol, Cre'von LeBlanc, Nickell Robey-Coleman and Craig James are the only healthy cornerbacks on the depth chart at the moment. Maddox will hope to progress to full practice before having a chance to suit up in Sunday's game against Baltimore.

  • Ruled out for Week 5

    Maddox (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

  • Still missing practice

    Maddox (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Maddox suffered the ankle injury in Week 2's tie against Cincinnati, and has yet to take the field since then. This news certainly isn't good for the Pittsburgh product, as he was only expected to miss a few weeks. If he's forced to miss any more action, expect Cre'von LeBlanc to continue to fill in at cornerback for the time being.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Maddox (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game at San Francisco.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old is expected to be sidelined 1-to-2 weeks after picking up the ankle injury against the Bengals, so it's not a surprise he won't play versus the 49ers. Cre'von LeBlanc should fill in at cornerback for the Eagles during Maddox's absence.

    Maddox (ankle) expects to miss a week or two due to his injury, Marc Farzetta of 975 Mornings reports.

    Analysis: The injury will likely keep Maddox out of the Eagles' Week 4 trip to San Francisco, and it sounds like the cornerback could miss the Week 5 game in Pittsburgh as well. Cre'von LeBlanc should fill in as a starting cornerback for as long as Maddox is out.

    Coach Doug Pederson said Maddox (ankle) may miss some time, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: Maddox left Sunday's tie against the Bengals with an ankle injury, and Pederson doesn't sound optimistic that the CB will be available in Week 4 against the 49ers. His status will be monitored throughout the week, but we should know more when the first practice report is released Wednesday. If he's forced to miss any time, Cre'von LeBlanc will likely bump into a starting role.

  • Nursing ankle injury

    Maddox (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Philadelphia's defense held Joe Burrow and the Bengals to 159 passing yards through the first three quarters of play, but a pair of touchdowns from Burrow to Tee Higgins put the Eagles in a 17-16 hole heading into the final frame. Should Maddox prove unable to return, Nickell Robey-Coleman would see an uptick in usage after fielding 59 percent of the defensive snaps Weeks 1 and 2.

    Maddox made eight unassisted tackles in Sunday's 37-19 loss over the Rams.

    Maddox (lower body) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report and is expected to play Sunday versus Washington.

    Analysis: Maddox has dealt with this injury for about a week, but he appears to be at full strength heading into his third NFL season. The 24-year-old is poised to start at cornerback this year opposite the unequivocal No. 1 Darius Slay. Last season, Maddox recorded 47 tackles, a sack and 10 pass breakups over 12 games.

  • Dealing with injury

    Maddox was sidelined from Wednesday's practice due to a lower-body injury, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Maddox suffered the injury, but he was only listed as day-to-day, signalling the injury isn't considered serious. The 24-year-old is again expected to handle starting duties, after he logged 47 tackles (38 solo), one sack and 10 passes broken up over 12 games in 2019. Although it's too early to tell, if Maddox is forced to miss Week 1, Sidney Jones and Nickell Robey-Coleman would be in line for a bump in snaps.

    Maddox logged 47 tackles (38 solo), one sack and 10 passes defensed over 12 games in 2019.

    Analysis: Maddox played one fewer game than in his rookie season but managed to set new career highs in virtually every relevant category. He missed Weeks 5 through 7 with a neck sprain and a concussion but immediately returned to his role as the Eagles' starting slot corner, a role he'll likely reprise next season.

    Analysis: The 2018 second-round pick didn't practice this week until Friday, when he put in a limited session. Maddox logged a 70-percent snap share in last week's win over the Redskins, and he should be in line for a similar workload Sunday.

    Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Maddox will serve as Philadelphia's top slot cornerback, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: Maddox resumed practicing without limitations this week, and he's now overtaken Sidney Jones on the Eagles' depth chart. The second-year pro sat out the last four contests due to head and neck injuries, but he's on track to suit up Week 9. Maddox is worth IDP consideration with a matchup against Chicago's struggling aerial attack on deck.
