The 1-2 Eagles will try to fly without Ronald Darby for a little while. The cornerback suffered a hamstring injury on Sunday and is expected to miss at least a few games, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter) hears. Meanwhile, based on what Mike Garafolo of NFL.com (on Twitter) is hearing, he wouldn’t be surprised if Darby misses “about a month or so.”
The Eagles will need all of the defensive firepower they can get, particularly if their offensive woes continue. If they’re willing to get aggressive – and Howie Roseman usually is – there’s a cornerback by the name of Jalen Ramsey who is on the trade block.
Darby, 25, registered four interceptions across 17 games for the Eagles in 2017 and 2018. Before the injury bug bit him yet again, he added another INT to the resume in Week 2 against the Falcons.
what’s up with mills?
He’s been reasonably solid for the Eagles when you consider that he was a 7th round pick.
y isn’t he playing?
He’s on the PUP list, is eligible to practice in a few weeks.
Getting old watching the Eagles CB’s chase after receivers every game. Technique has been awful this year.
Darby’s already been taking games off…
Howie needs to make a move for Ramsey already.. just give the 2 first rounds… get it done
Two 1sts is too much and he’s not a good fit in the scheme or locker room.
Yea ok
thats a good excuse for the Eagles not getting ANY stud players. Take a GOOD LOOK at the roster we are in trouble
That same thinking signed Nnamdi Asomugha to one of the worst contracts ever. Again, 2 firsts is too much, can’t go into two straight drafts not picking until 60 or so and he just isn’t a good fit.
I’m sure this DB saga will go on all season, they’ll get some guys off the street, go into the offseason resign them and then feel really good about their DBs into 20-21, and by week 3 it will be the teams weakness. Just like last year.
