Kelee Ringo was drafted in the fourth round for a reason and after spending the first half of the 2023 season adjusting to the NFL, he’ll make his first start on ‘Monday Night Football.’
According to Jeff McLane of The Inquirer, the former Georgia All-American cornerback will start in place of an injured Darius Slay.
Rookie Kelee Ringo is slated to start at CB for the #Eagles in place of the injured Darius Slay (knee) for Monday night’s game at the Seahawks, per NFL sources.
Eagles are down 2 other starters:
Veteran reserve Sua Opeta will start for the injured Cam Jurgens (pec) at RG.

Ringo started 27 30 games played as the Georgia Bulldogs won back-to-back National Championships, and that size will likely draw Seattle’s DK Metcalf on Monday night.
An athletic marvel who has drawn praise from A.J. Brown, Ringo could develop into an elite hybrid defender thanks to his size, strength, and combination of speed.
Ringo measured in at 6’2″ and 207 pounds at the NFL Combine and could probably play at 220 pounds once he grows into his body.
Ringo has elite length, physicality, and the muscular frame to become an imposing player for the Eagles in the future.
