CARSON, Calif. — Things have fallen apart and been put back together quickly for the Eagles defensive backfield during this young season. It has to be that way for a team that lost one starting cornerback, then another combination back, and finally found itself putting a rookie on the lonely piece of property on the outside where the best receivers wait to test them.
For Rasul Douglas, the speed has been particularly blurring. He was inactive in the season opener, played but didn’t start when Ronald Darby went out due to an injury, and then went into the lineup against the Giants when Jaylen Watkins was also lost.
