One former Husky — Elijah Qualls — might be in uniform when the Philadelphia Eagles come to CenturyLink Field to take on the Seahawks Sunday night.

Another — Sidney Jones — will not.

The two former UW standouts were each drafted by the Eagles last April. Jones, a cornerback, was taken in the second round with the No. 43 overall pick while Qualls, a defensive tackle, was taken in the sixth round with the 214th overall pick.

Jones might have been a first-round pick had he not suffered an Achilles tendon injury during a workout at Washington’s Pro Day about six weeks prior to the draft.
