Replacing Lane Johnson and Avonte Maddox won't be easy, but the Eagles have options.
“Obviously, everything will be on the table, whatever we feel like is best for us,” Sirianni said on Monday. “I love the fact that Jordan has some versatility. I love the fact that Andre and Jack are really good backups. We have a lot of faith in them to go out there and be able to do their job.”After Maddox hurt his toe against the Cowboys, backup nickel cornerback Josiah Scott played the rest of the game in his place and struggled. Scott was picked on a bit by the Cowboys and CeeDee Lamb.
While it’s admittedly an imperfect way to judge a player, Scott ranks as PFF’s 107th-ranked cornerback in the NFL out of 121. Maddox is ranked 24th. This is a huge drop-off with the playoffs looming.Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson has now missed four games with a lacerated kidney he suffered in the first half against the Packers, but he’s eligible to return off IR this week. Of course, there’s no guarantee that happens.
“Just because he's eligible to return doesn't mean he will, even though I know he'll want to. Again, all the guys will want to, so we'll see. That will be something that we're just waiting for some results back when he does get those tests.” “Obviously he has a lot of versatility,” Sirianni said. “I think the same thing, you guys kind of asked when he got here, was like well, he hasn't played safety. Well, he showed that he could play safety. Well, he hasn't played nickel in over a year. Well, he can do that as well.
