The Philadelphia Eagles concluded pre-draft visits with Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold and Iowa cornerback Cooper DeJean this week. Philly is clearly interested in adding defensive back talent to its defense after allowing 252.7 passing yards per game last year (second-worst). The organization holds the No. 22 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, which is right in the range where Arnold and DeJean could be selected. Arnold, a 2023 first-team All-American, racked up 20 pass deflections and six interceptions over the last two seasons. DeJean totaled 13 pass deflections and seven interceptions in his final two collegiate campaigns, and he averaged 13.1 yards per punt return. Both players are considered top cornerback prospects in this cycle, so Philadelphia would make a great landing spot for either one as James Bradberry (30 years old) and Darius Slay (33 years old) have likely seen their best days in the NFL.

The Philadelphia Eagles defense allowed the fifth-most explosive plays last year due to the instability of their secondary. Cornerback James Bradberry was burned frequently in critical man-to-man situations. Even if the 30-year-old is able to rebound in 2024, the Eagles need to consider the age of No. 1 corner Darius Slay (32 years old), who missed five games in 2023 with a knee injury. The Athletic's Brooks Kubena writes that general manager Howie Roseman needs to find a reliable and durable heir at cornerback, possibly on both sides of the field, through either free agency or the NFL draft this offseason. If the Eagles want to have another shot at returning to the Super Bowl, their defense under new coordinator Vic Fangio is going to need to improve over last season.

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (back) was injured late in the fourth quarter in Monday night's wild-card loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and had to be carted to the locker room. Slay got bent awkwardly while trying to make a tackle and then grabbed at the right side of his back. He appeared to be in a lot of pain and could be dealing with a significant injury, but we may not know the extent of it until Monday after he undergoes more tests. The Eagles' season is now over anyway after the 32-9 loss, so Slay will have all offseason to heal up. The 33-year-old had missed the final four games of the regular season due to a knee issue. The five-time Pro Bowler only played 12 games in his fourth year in Philly and finished the regular season with 57 tackles (48 solo), two interceptions (one for a touchdown) and 14 passes defensed.

Philadelphia Eagles CB Darius Slay (back) left the NFC Wild Card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday, Jan. 15 due to an apparent back injury. He was carted off midway through the fourth quarter after going down on a tackle attempt, clutching at his back almost immediately. He was also playing his first game since having arthroscopic surgery on his knee.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Darius Slay (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice. The stud defensive back recently underwent surgery on his knee prior to Week 15. However, it sounds like Slay is trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's Wild-Card matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His availability would provide this defense with a much-needed boost ahead of this game. There is still a few more days of practice, but Slay appears to be ready to go.
