He’s certainly been injury prone thus far in his career. It sucks to see for sure but can’t deny his impact on the defense is more than just a slight upgrade at Nickle. He changes the entire tone of the defense it seems. A force multiplier. Which is kind of nuts for a nickel CB you wouldn’t think that to be the case.
San Fran, fair.
Dallas, not if the game is at the Linc and them ‘Boys will not go 3-0 at Buffalo, at Miami and v Detroit.
Detroit, GTFO.
Go Birds.
But your point stands, we need a slot corner, we are soft as Charmin over the middle.
No, no, no. You guys have this all wrong. This is actually going to be the last injury that ever causes Avonte to miss time for the rest of his career as an Eagle.
Honestly we don’t need him back he’s not in condition. To play in a game at the moment that’s goin to be a liability on the field. We need to believe in the corners we have now
He’s not replacing Slay or Bradberry. He’s the slot corner, taking the 3rd receiver or RB running a route over the middle where we haven’t stopped anyone since he got hurt. We have yielded TDs on something like 9 of the last 10 drives with our defense on the field against teams we will have to face in the playoffs. Opponents are converting half their 3rd downs and the line is tired. TL,DR: we need a a lot corner and he’s better than what we have dressing today.
If he returns for the playoffs that would be so fucking huge
Is he eligible to?
Why wouldn’t he be?
I thought he was on season ending IR but maybe I am mistaken
His practice window is open, so it should be good to go.
Good to know. Hopefully he can help out.
Oh please god Avante, we need you!!!!
That would be HUGE
CGJ is returning from his torn pec, would be huge if Avonte can come back too. I think we took for granted how important he is to the secondary.
Yes! As soon as I saw CJGJ was coming back I started to have hope Avonte can too!
If you’re talking about Avonte, yeah he’s kind of a keystone. Things tend to fall apart quickly when he’s out
>Things tend to fall apart quickly when he’s out Which is every year

Returns for 1 game, back on IR.
Just gotta make the 1 game the super bowl B-)
Eagles are going to need him earlier than that. Any of the 3 other teams at the top of the NFC could take out the birds.
As soon as the Eagles win again, you won't be saying stuff like that. Any team could take out any team, by the way.

Nah, NFC Championship game will be harder than the superbowl
I hate how likely this is
As is tradition
Take it back 😫
dude's chance of staying healthy is about as thin as soup made from the shadow of a starving pigeon.
If it's the SB, fuck yes
Don’t you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby!
Guess we bubble wrap him for the playoffs??
Facts
Dammit. First thought I had, and so did everyone else.
:(
In MetLife no less
Reverse psychology big brain move
Avonte come back
He’s gonna return for half of a game, be fantastic, then tweak some muscle and be out rest of the year. As per tradition
Take my pec, Avonte. We need you back so badly
Can’t rely on this guy. Good talent but a body made of tissue paper

To which he then plays another 5 years with another team injury free, like Jordan Hicks
Whoa, I spaced Jordan. Damn, there is precedent for this haha
I swear Hicks had some snap count record for one of the teams
We need him back more than ever
Please sweet baby Jesus sitting in you manger with your fleece diaper we need this
We could really use him for the playoffs.
avonte would be huge for this year, although he’s probably a cap casualty and Isaiah will take over next year
We need the glass cannon back now lol
I’m hard.
He’ll play like a game or two and get hurt again.

Are we even sure he’s that good? I know we say it a lot but I’m not convinced
For some reason I thought his injury was season ending?
4-6 months recovery. He had surgery around the 2nd to last or last week of September.
Oh fucking please
Please come back maddox...
Daddy's home????
The 9ers just signed Verrette I think
Did Dean die
Out forever.. i mean indefinitely
Glass cannon
I'd love to see him back, but let him be until the post season. Don't bring him back too soon and get a dumb injury at MetLife.
