Eagles rule out Isaiah Rodgers for Friday’s opener

Who is Isaiah Rodgers?

Isaiah Rodgers is an American football cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He was signed by the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2020.

What is the injury?

Rodgers is dealing with a hamstring injury. He suffered the injury during practice on Tuesday.

What does this mean for the Eagles?

The Eagles will be without one of their top cornerbacks for the season opener. Rodgers was expected to start alongside Darius Slay in the Eagles' new-look secondary. The Eagles will now likely turn to Avonte Maddox or Kary Vincent Jr. to start in Rodgers' place. Maddox has started 16 games in his career, while Vincent has started one.

Impact on the secondary:

The injury to Rodgers is a blow to the Eagles' secondary. Rodgers is a talented young cornerback who was expected to play a big role in the Eagles' defense this season. Without Rodgers, the Eagles will be less experienced in the secondary. Maddox and Vincent are both capable players, but they do not have the experience of Rodgers. The Eagles will also be without safety Rodney McLeod for the season opener. McLeod is dealing with a knee injury. The Eagles are hoping to get both Rodgers and McLeod back as soon as possible. However, the injuries to both players could leave the Eagles' secondary vulnerable early in the season.

What's next?

The Eagles will open the season on Friday against the Atlanta Falcons. The game will be played at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
