Eagles PFF grades: Best and worst performers from 35-31 loss to Cardinals

We’re looking at the highest and lowest graded players in the Philadelphia Eagles 35-31 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17

The Eagles no longer control their destiny for the No. 2 overall seed and NFC East after a 35-31 loss to the Cardinals at home.

In Jonathan Gannon’s return to Philadelphia, Arizona rushed for 221 yards, with James Conner logging 26 carries for 128 yards and one touchdown.

The Cardinals’ win put the Cowboys in the No. 2 seed entering Week 18, and a victory over Washington would give Dallas the NFC East.

With fans and pundits outraged by the loss, we’re looking at the highest and lowest-graded players via PFF. 

Cardinals have 2 injuries to watch in Week 18 from win over Eagles

Left tackle D.J. Humphries injured his knee and cornerback Garrett Williams injured his ankle in the Cardinals’ 35-31 win over the Eagles.

The Arizona Cardinals beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday 35-31 on the road to ring in the new year. In the win, a pair of starters suffered injuries.

They are worth paying attention to as the Cardinals prepare for their final game of the season, a home finale against the Seattle Seahawks.

Left tackle D.J. Humphries exited the game with a knee injury. He had to be assisted off the field. Kelvin Beachum finished the game at left tackle.

Rookie cornerback, back after a one-game absence with a knee injury, left the game with an ankle injury. He was in a lot of pain.

An initial guess would lead one to believe that both players could miss the finale.

We will know more throughout the week.

The first injury report of the week comes out Wednesday afternoon.

Eagles announce 3 roster moves ahead of matchup vs. Cardinals

The Philadelphia Eagles activated cornerback Avonte Maddox ahead of the Week 17 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals

The Eagles are getting healthier and one of their most important defenders is returning to the lineup, as Avonte Maddox has been activated from injured reserve.

Philadelphia elevated linebacker Brandon Smith from the practice squad for tomorrow’s game, and placed tight end Albert Okwuegbunam on Injured Reserve.

Last season, Maddox had 43 tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack, three passes defended and one interception.

Selected in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL draft, Maddox has played six seasons for the Eagles, amassing 188 solo tackles, 58 assists, 3.0 sacks, one fumble recovery, and four interceptions.

We’re looking at 3 keys for the Philadelphia Eagles offense vs. Arizona Cardinals defense in Week 17

The Eagles (11-4) host the Cardinals (3-12) on Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field in an intriguing matchup that’ll see Jonathan Gannon return to Philadelphia for the first time since the Super Bowl 57 loss to Kansas City.

There are several vital storylines and matchups to watch, while the quarterback battle will feature two dual-threat stars in Jalen Hurts and Kyler Murray.

With kickoff less than 24 hours away, here are three keys for the Eagles offense against the Cardinal’s defense.

3 Cardinals rookies make their debut vs. Seahawks

Garrett Williams, Elijah Higgins and Clayton all made their NFL debut in Week 7 against the Seahawks.

The Arizona Cardinals lost on Sunday 20-10 on the road to the Seattle Seahawks. In the loss, rookie cornerback Garrett Williams made his NFL debut, playing for the first time since he tore his ACL in college last October.

He played pretty well.

However, he wasn’t the only Cardinals rookie to make his NFL debut.

Quarterback Clayton Tune and tight end Elijah Higgins also played in the NFL for the first time.

Williams finished with two tackles, an interception, which also counts as a pass breakup.

Tune played only one snap. It was a fake punt on special teams. He completed a four-yard pass. It was fourth-and-nine, so it was not successful.

Higgins was active for the first time this season and got to play on offense and special teams.

He logged seven special teams snaps and six on offense. He had his first NFL reception, although it was for zero yards.

Cardinals activate S Budda Baker, CB Garrett Williams for game vs. Seahawks

Baker missed the last five games with a hamstring injury. Williams will make his NFL debut.

The Arizona Cardinals get reinforcements in the secondary for their Week 7 matchup on the road against the Seattle Seahawks. They announced some roster moves Saturday and have activated safety Budda Baker from injured reserve and rookie cornerback Garrett Williams from the non-football injury reserve.

Both are expected to play on Sunday. Because the Cardinals released running back Tony Jones and linebacker Myjai Sanders, they already had two roster vacancies. As such, they did not need to release anyone.

Baker missed five games after injuring his hamstring in Week 1. He spent four game on injured reserve. He said earlier in the week that it was expected to be a six-week injury but he worked to cut that down. His return is timely, as fellow safety Jalen Thompson will miss his second straight game with a hamstring injury.

Williams will make his NFL debut. He tore his ACL while playing collegiately for Syracuse last October. The Cardinals drafted him in the third round this year.

He could get to play right away. Antonio Hamilton is out with a groin injury so Williams could either be the third cornerback after Marco Wilson and Kei’Trel Clark, who is also questionable with a hamstring injury, or he could be the fourth corner in the rotation after Starling Thomas.

OL Dennis Daley, CB Garrett Williams designated to return, begin practicing

The Cardinals are getting reinforcements in practice this week. They have 21 days to be restored to the active roster.

The Arizona Cardinals get two players back to practice they have not had yet this season. They announced they designated rookie cornerback Garrett Williams and offensive lineman Dennis Daley to return to practice.

Williams is on the NFI (non-football injury) reserve and Daley is on injured reserve.

Both now are eligible to practice and can be activated to the 53-man roster at any point in the next 21 days.

The Cardinals released two cornerbacks and an offensive lineman on Monday, so it would appear that both will be activated this weekend and dress and potentially dress and play on Sunday when the Cardinals host the Cincinnati Bengals.

Williams was on NFI recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last October while in college. He was drafted by the Cardinals in the third round out of Syracuse.

Daley injured his ankle in the preseason finale.

The Cardinals did not designate outside linebacker Myjai Sanders or quarterback Kyler Murray to return. Sanders is on IR with a hand injury and Murray is on the PUP (physically unable to perform) reserve completing his recovery from his torn ACL last season.

If Daley or Williams is not activated to the 53-man roster within 21 days, they revert to the reserves they were on and must miss the remainder of the season.
