Avonte Maddox is one of the top slot cornerbacks in the NFL when healthy, and the sixth-year veteran could miss the remainder of the season with a torn pec.
Jeff McLane of The Inquirer reports that Eagles brass fears Maddox may have suffered a torn pectoral muscle in the win.
He’ll get a second opinion, but Maddox’s season is likely over.
#Eagles CB Avonte Maddox has what is believed to be a torn pectoral muscle, which could sideline the slot for an extended period and perhaps the entire season, NFL sources said.

Last season, Maddox had 43 tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack, three passes defended and one interception.
Selected in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL draft, Maddox has played six seasons for the Eagles, amassing 188 solo tackles, 58 assists, 3.0 sacks, one fumble recovery, and four interceptions.
