Eagles activated 21-day practice window for CB Avonte Maddox

Avonte Maddox returns to Philadelphia Eagles practice after having his 21-day practice window activated

The Eagles are getting their most important defender back in the lineup, as slot cornerback Avonte Maddox is set to return to the lineup.

Maddox has been on injured reserve since November 14 due to a hamstring injury and Philadelphia suffered their first and only loss of the season against the Washington Commanders. T

Maddox had recorded 27 tackles and 1 interception through six games before he was sidelined due to injury.

The Eagles can add Maddox to the active roster at any time going forward, and his return gives Jonathan Gannon more flexibility on the backend.

Eagles expect to be without CB Avonte Maddox for Monday night matchup vs. Commanders

Philadelphia Eagles head coach says he doesn’t expect slot CB Avonte Maddox to be available for Monday night against the Washington Commanders

The Eagles expect to be without slot cornerback Avonte Maddox for their Monday night matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Head coach Nick Sirianni said backup cornerback Josiah Scott would likely replace Maddox despite his ankle injury.

Maddox missed his second straight day of practice on Friday and is unlikely to participate in the Saturday morning walkthrough.

The Eagles will now rely on Scott to help contain Curtis Samuel, who has been in the slot for 68.7% of his offensive snaps per Pro Football Focus.

Samuel has had 45 catches for 455 yards and three touchdowns through nine games, with 50 yards receiving in each of his past three games, and he’ll be a key player to watch.
