Fangio Leaves Eagles’ CB2 Job Open, Says Kelee Ringo Could Stay Starter Over Adoree’ Jackson

Fangio signals a merit-based approach to the CB2 job.

Overview

  • Injuries to Adoree’ Jackson (groin) and Jakorian Bennett (injured reserve) opened the start for Kelee Ringo against the Buccaneers.
  • Ringo allowed one catch on three targets for eight yards with a key pass breakup, per PFF, but he was flagged for pass interference and missed three tackles.
  • Fangio said it is "possible" Ringo starts again even if Jackson is cleared, praising his man coverage while calling for improved tackling.
  • Rookie safety Drew Mukuba played 100% of defensive snaps for the first time, and Fangio said he is playing full-time at safety.
  • Linebacker Nakobe Dean is eligible to begin practicing as his return window opens this week or next.
