Avonte Maddox Fantasy

There is worry that Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Avonte Maddox (pectoral) tore his pectoral muscle in the win over the visiting Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night, according to sources. Maddox went for an MRI exam on Friday morning, and if the tests confirm the suspicion, Maddox could be forced to miss the entire 2023 season. If the 27-year-old is done for the season, it will be a significant blow to Philly's secondary, as he is one of the better nickel cornerbacks in the league when healthy. The problem is Maddox has had a tough time staying on the field. The Eagles can't get James Bradberry (concussion) back soon enough.

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Avonte Maddox (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 2 victory over the Minnesota Vikings and did not return. Before injuring his left shoulder in the first half, Maddox had two tackles (one solo). The good news is that the 27-year-old will have extra time before their Week 3 game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday, Sept. 25, but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be ready for that contest, either. The Eagles will likely send the defensive back for tests in the coming days. Injuries aren't new for Maddox, as he played in just nine regular season games in 2022 due to ankle, hamstring and toe injuries. He has averaged 12 games played in five NFL seasons coming into 2023.

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Avonte Maddox (toe) and offensive guard Landon Dickerson (elbow) both put in full practices on Friday and were removed from the final injury report for Super Bowl LVII. They will both be available to face the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Maddox was injured in Week 16 but returned for the NFC Championship while playing only 19 of 41 defensive snaps in the secondary. With a week of extra rest, the 26-year-old should see more playing time as the Eagles look to slow Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce down. Dickerson was injured in the NFC title game, but the injury wasn't all that serious and he will return to starting left guard duties against the Chiefs. It's good news for Jalen Hurts and Philly's ground game.
