Eagles inactives: CB Darius Slay, LB Zach Cunningham out vs. Cardinals

The Eagles faced the Cardinals missing a pair of defensive starters in Week 17.

The Philadelphia Eagles had to face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17 without two of their defensive starters. When the Eagles released their inactive list 90 minutes before Sunday’s kickoff, not only was cornerback Darius Slay, who was ruled out with a knee injury during the week, on it, so was linebacker Zach Cunningham, who was questionable to play with a knee injury.

It is the third straight game that Cunningham has missed. He is second on the team with 80 tackles.

Here is the full list of inactives for the Eagles:

  • QB Tanner KcKee
  • CB Darius Slay
  • CB Bradley Roby
  • LB Zach Cunningham
  • OL Tyler Steen
  • DT Marlon Tuipolotu

Shaquille Leonard will likely start in Cunningham’s place alongside Nicholas Morrow.
