In 2018, the Philadelphia Eagles secondary went through more than its fair share of growing pains. After Rodney McLeod’s season-ending injury in week 3, what followed was a string of setbacks, forcing the Eagles to dig deep into their talent pool. At one point, every single starter in the secondary with the exception of Malcolm Jenkins was sidelined.
However, after all of that time missed by the starters and even some reserve players as the team began to wear thin in the defensive secondary, the Philadelphia Eagles began to find ways to rally back with a makeshift defensive unit in time to string enough wins together to clinch a post-season berth.
