LONDON – All the Eagles fans pleading with defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz to try Rasul Douglas for Jalen Mills at corner finally got their wish Sunday.
Mills went down with a foot injury early in the third quarter of the Eagles' 24-18 victory over the host Jacksonville Jaguars. Douglas, the 2017 rookie who started five games, has watched the team bring Dexter McDougle off the street to play ahead of him this season, Schwartz reasoning that McDougle is more suited to the nickel/slot role than Douglas. Sunday, McDougle frequently looked more suited to being out of the league, as he was when the Eagles called him up six weeks into this season.
