Eagles Starting CB Isaiah Rodgers Ruled Out for Week 1
What It Means for Defense in Brazil Game vs. Packers
The Philadelphia Eagles will be without starting cornerback Isaiah Rodgers for their Week 1 matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Brazil. Rodgers suffered a hamstring injury in practice this week and has been ruled out for the game.
Rodgers is a key piece of the Eagles' defense, and his absence will be a big blow. He is a versatile player who can play both inside and outside cornerback, and he is also a valuable contributor on special teams.
With Rodgers out, the Eagles will likely start Avonte Maddox at cornerback opposite Darius Slay. Maddox is a solid player, but he is not as experienced as Rodgers. He will need to step up and play well in order for the Eagles to have a successful game.
The Packers have a number of talented receivers, including Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Allen Lazard. The Eagles' defense will need to be at their best in order to contain them.
Here are three things to watch for in the Eagles' defense without Isaiah Rodgers:
- How will Avonte Maddox perform in Rodgers' absence?
- Can the Eagles' defense contain Davante Adams and the Packers' other receivers?
- Will the Eagles be able to generate pressure on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers?
The Eagles will need to answer these questions in order to have a successful game against the Packers.
Additional Information
In addition to the information above, here are some other things to keep in mind about the Eagles' defense without Isaiah Rodgers:
- The Eagles have a number of other cornerbacks who could step up in Rodgers' absence, including Zech McPhearson and Josiah Scott.
- The Eagles' defense has been one of the best in the NFL in recent years, so they should be able to overcome the loss of Rodgers.
- The Packers are a tough opponent, but the Eagles should be able to win if they play well.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
