The Eagles won't be at full strength in the secondary when they host the Dolphins and their No. 1 offense on Sunday Night Football in Week 7.
Mekhi Garner is an undrafted rookie free agent cornerback who’s been on the practice squad since final roster cuts in August.
According to Stathead’s player season finder, only five teams in NFL history have ever had an entire season playing more undrafted defensive backs in their first or second season than the Eagles have in six games. The healthy defensive backs on the 53-man roster are James Bradberry, Jobe, Ringo, Terrell Edmunds and Goodrich. Garner, McCollum and Tiawan Mullen are on the practice squad.
Oh, and the Eagles are about to face a Dolphins offense with the NFL's No. 1 passing game, No. 1 total offense and No. 1 scoring offense Sunday night.But the real issue is that Edmunds – who lost a training camp battle for a starting spot – is the Eagles’ only healthy safety. Maybe Brown will be ready to return Sunday, but he’s a guy who’s only played 16 career snaps on defense and hasn't played in a month.
