Eagles rookie report card from the Cardinals game

The Eagles embarrassed themselves once again, dropping a fourth game in five weeks in a loss to the lowly Cardinals. This loss will have rippling implications across the roster and coaching staff, no doubt, as their 10-1 start to the season has been all but squandered as they head towards a wild card spot in the NFC playoffs.

For the Eagles rookies, they were heavily involved in this game, especially on defense. This level of rookie participation on that side of the ball would have been hard to predict back in the summer, but injuries and poor play has thrust a handful of Eagles first years into meaningful roles with varying success.
