Eagles Face Cornerback Crunch as Quinyon Mitchell’s Week 7 Status Is Unclear

Vic Fangio said Mitchell’s availability remains uncertain, prompting contingency plans at cornerback.

Overview

  • Mitchell left the Week 6 loss to the Giants with a hamstring injury, was initially listed as questionable, and was later ruled out.
  • Fangio said it "remains to be seen" whether Mitchell will play against the Vikings in Week 7.
  • Adoree' Jackson is positioned ahead of Kelee Ringo, and both would be expected to play outside if Mitchell cannot go.
  • Jackson and Ringo struggled after Mitchell exited versus New York, drawing a blunt assessment from Fangio that "you guys know who we've got."
  • Options under review include shifting Cooper DeJean to the outside as Jakorian Bennett remains on injured reserve, and Howie Roseman is reportedly exploring cornerback help before the trade deadline with Minnesota’s Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison looming.
