The Eagles’ defense has been inconsistent at best through four games this season, and with the team coming off their bye week, reports indicate that they plan to make a personnel change moving forward. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the team is expected to have rookie DB Cooper DeJean start at nickel over Avonte Maddox.
Changes to the Eagles’ lineup are on the table as 2-2 Philly emerges from its bye week. One position to watch: Rookie Cooper DeJean taking over nickel corner duties from veteran Avonte Maddox. That’s a move I’m expecting, barring new developments.
