Quinyon Mitchell Leaves With Knee Issue as Eagles Suffer Late Collapse

Mitchell’s exit and Jonathan Greenard’s developing status create short-term depth concerns for Philadelphia ahead of its Week 5 trip to Jacksonville.

Overview

  • The Eagles lost to the Rams 24-20 after multiple defenders were hurt or evaluated late in the second half, with star cornerback Quinyon Mitchell leaving the game and not returning.
  • Mitchell went to the team medical tent for a knee-related issue and was listed questionable to return, and he later told reporters he was frustrated he could not finish the game.
  • Edge rusher Jonathan Greenard, who was in his second game back on a planned snap count after a pec injury, left for the locker room and has a developing status that the team has yet to detail.
  • Cornerback Cooper DeJean was evaluated in the medical tent but returned on the next drive while veteran Jonathan Jones stepped in to replace Mitchell late and drew praise from Mitchell.
  • The injuries deepen short-term roster strain in the secondary and on the edge for a 2-2 Eagles team and raise the stakes for medical testing, snap-management decisions, and possible schematic changes before Week 5.
