Avonte Maddox
Maddox has been dealing with a toe injury, and on Tuesday the Eagles’ head coach had no real update on his status.
Nick Sirianni didn’t offer up much on CB Avonte Maddox’s availability for this week:
“We’ll see.”#Eagles will issue a practice report based on an estimation after today’s walkthrough.

If Maddox is unable to log at least one limited practice by Thursday, he’ll likely miss another game.
