Just days before the Philadelphia Eagles took on the New York Jets, cornerback Orlando Scandrick was out of football. Scandrick had played with the Eagles during the preseason but was ultimately cut when it came time to trim the rosters down to 53 players.
When the Eagles brought him back before their fifth game, expectations were low. He was expected to be a plugin veteran option at a position of extreme need for the team. What he provided was a spark that reminded Philly of a face from their not so distant past.
