Report: Eagles fear Maddox suffered season-ending torn pectoral

The Philadelphia Eagles fear cornerback Avonte Maddox suffered a torn pectoral during Thursday's win over the Minnesota Vikings, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Maddox is expected to get a second opinion to confirm what would be a season-ending injury, Schefter adds.

It's the latest in a long line of injuries for Maddox. He endured three separate multi-week absences last campaign, only appearing in nine regular-season games and two of the Eagles' three playoff contests. Maddox also missed 13 games from 2018-20.

Mario Goodrich, a former undrafted free agent, replaced Maddox in the slot against Minnesota. The Eagles' secondary depth was already under strain as James Bradberry was out with a concussion and Reed Blankenship was sidelined due to a rib injury.

Second-year cornerback Josh Jobe stepped in for Bradberry in Week 2. The Eagles could potentially keep Jobe on the outside opposite Darius Slay and replace Maddox with Bradberry, or hand Goodrich the full-time slot role to maintain the productive outside duo of Slay and Bradberry.
