The Philadelphia Eagles will officially be without their top two starting cornerbacks for their Week 15 game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Avonte Maddox was placed on injured reserve on Friday evening and now Darius Slay is being downgraded to OUT after
originally being listed questionable to play. The Eagles announced Slay, Grayland Arnold (also questionable), and Jason Huntley (illness) will not be traveling with the team out to the desert.
Being without Slay is obviously a huge deal. Had he been healthy enough to suit up, the Eagles would’ve been counting on him to line up against DeAndre Hopkins.
