The Philadelphia Eagles enter the 2020 NFL season locked down and loaded with most of their 53-man roster.

Avonte Maddox
1. Cornerback against Darius Slay
Depending on who you ask, the job is either Avonte Maddox’s to lose or Sidney Jones’s. Slay is entrenched as a cornerback in the Eagles franchise. The player opposite him has yet to be determined, but it will likely come down to Maddox, Jones or Rasul Douglas.
Nickell Robey-Coleman and Cre’Von LeBlanc will hold onto the spot, and the Eagles could choose to use a similar rotation to last season.
