By ETT Eagles’ Quinyon Mitchell Suffers Shoulder Injury
The Philadelphia Eagles’ rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell was forced to leave the game midway through the first quarter due to a shoulder injury. Mitchell was taken to the locker room with his left arm dangling at his side and was initially listed as questionable to return. However, after halftime, Mitchell was officially ruled out for the game.
Mitchell, a first-round draft pick for the Eagles, had been a starter since Week 1. His departure from the game left a void in the Eagles’ defense, which was filled by veteran Isaiah Rodgers. Rodgers, however, allowed a 48-yard completion to Demarcus Robinson at the end of the first quarter.
Mitchell’s injury is a significant blow to the Eagles’ defense. The team will now have to rely on Rodgers and other reserves to fill the void left by Mitchell’s absence. It remains to be seen how long Mitchell will be out, but his injury could potentially have a major impact on the Eagles’ season.
Isaiah Rodgers Fills In for Mitchell
With Mitchell out of the game, the Eagles turned to veteran Isaiah Rodgers to fill the void at cornerback. Rodgers has been a solid contributor for the Eagles in the past, but he has primarily played in a reserve role. This will be his first opportunity to start for the team.
Rodgers will have his work cut out for him as he replaces Mitchell. The Eagles’ defense has struggled at times this season, and Rodgers will need to step up and play well in order to help the team turn things around.
Mitchell’s Injury Could Have Long-Term Impact
Mitchell’s injury could have a significant impact on the Eagles’ season. The team is already thin at cornerback, and Mitchell’s absence will only make things worse. If Mitchell is out for an extended period of time, the Eagles may be forced to make a move to acquire another cornerback.
The Eagles are hoping that Mitchell’s injury is not serious, but they will need to prepare for the possibility that he could miss significant time. If that happens, the team’s defense could be in trouble.
Eagles’ Defense Faces Tough Test
The Eagles’ defense will face a tough test in their next game without Mitchell. They will take on the Dallas Cowboys, who have one of the most potent offenses in the NFL. The Cowboys are led by quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott, who are both capable of putting up big numbers.
The Eagles’ defense will need to be at their best if they want to stop the Cowboys’ offense. They will need to generate pressure on Prescott and force him into mistakes. They will also need to contain Elliott and prevent him from breaking off big runs.
The Eagles’ defense has struggled at times this season, but they will need to find a way to step up and play well against the Cowboys. If they can do that, they will have a good chance of winning the game and improving their playoff chances.
