Bennett came in to replace Jackson and was on the field for the final snap of the game, so, it\u2019s not perfectly clear when he got banged up. Bennett did notably collide with Rams punter Ethan Evans in a scramble for the loose ball following Jordan Davis blocking LA\u2019s game-winning field goal attempt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">CB2 has been a major question mark for the Eagles in 2025. Jackson has been up and down; he really struggled in Week 1 before settling in a bit more over the past two weeks. Bennett hasn\u2019t exactly made a strong case to overtake Jackson whenever he\u2019s been on the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Nevertheless, these guys are two of the Eagles\u2019 top three outside cornerback options \u2026 assuming Cooper DeJean remains in his nickel cornerback role. If neither Jackson nor Bennett can play against the Bucs, it could be Kelee Ringo who gets the start in Tampa. The Eagles wanted Ringo to win the CB2 competition this offseason but he struggled to establish himself and fell out of starting contention by the end of training camp. Ringo has been limited to special teams duty thus far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Maybe Ringo will seize the opportunity and rise to the challenge. Or maybe we\u2019ll see why he fell out of favor. The Bucs have talented wide receivers (even though Mike Evans might not play) and a quarterback in Baker Mayfield who isn\u2019t afraid to give them chances to make plays.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We\u2019ll find out more about how Jackson and Bennett are progressing (or not) when the Eagles issue their first official Week 4 injury report after practice on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Eagles could be without starting cornerback Adoree\u2019 Jackson and his top backup, Jakorian Bennett, against the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175222,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,46147,99],"class_list":["post-175221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-philadelphia-eagles-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175221\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
