Maddox returned to the lineup to play the 2023 season’s last three games after undergoing surgery on a torn pectoral muscle in September.
Maddox is one of the top slot cornerbacks in the NFL, but he’s played only 13 games in the last two years, and he’s missed 36 percent of the Eagles’ games since he was drafted in 2018.
