Isaiah Rodgers reps Darius Slay’s jersey ahead of Eagles game vs. Jaguars in Week 9

Isaiah Rodgers reps Darius Slay’s jersey before Eagles matchup vs. Jaguars in Week 9

Isaiah Rodgers will start his first game at cornerback for the Eagles in place of an injured Darius Slay.

Slay will miss Sunday’s game with a groin injury, and with the Birds being a tight-knit unit, Rodgers paid homage to the Pro Bowl cornerback.  The return specialist and cornerback wore a Kelly Green No. 2 jersey to Lincoln Financial Field in tribute to his injured teammate.

Rodgers broke up a deep pass to Ja’Marr Chase in the Week 8 win that was tipped into C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s hands for a crucial interception.
