The Eagles have been able to get healthier in their secondary the past couple weeks, but the nickel cornerback position still stands out as the most troublesome. To be sure, the team has faced some of the best receivers in the league through eight weeks, but offenses have regularly targeted that particular weak spot.
As the Eagles enter their bye week — something everyone seems to be appreciative of at this point in the season — it appears the team will get some help back when they return to practice. Following Philly’s big win over Dallas, slot CB Bradley Roby, who has been out with a pec injury, confirmed that he’ll be back after the bye.
