Eagles’ CB Darius Slay returns after ankle injury vs. Cowboys originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
ARLINGTON, Texas — Eagles starting cornerback Darius Slay injured his ankle on the first drive of the game against the Cowboys but is back in the game.
The 33-year-old was officially listed as questionable but has returned.
Slay got a pass breakup on the third play of the game on 3rd-and-7 but seemed to come down funny and injured his ankle.
Veteran Isaiah Rodgers took his place for a bit. Rodgers has played significantly in recent weeks because Slay has been dealing with injury. First, Slay had a knee injury, then a groin and now an ankle. Slay missed last week’s game with that groin injury.
Rodgers played pretty well last week against the Jaguars. Because rookie Quinyon Mitchell has been excellent on the other side of the field. Mitchell made a heady on the next drive to drive his man out of bounds for an incompletion.
