There are 11 cornerbacks listed on the 90-man Eagles roster and every single one of them comes with a "yeah, but …" attached to him. There are four rookies, two first-year players, and two second-year men among the group, which collectively fits the description “a work in progress.”
The Eagles are keeping the big picture in mind here, and that’s one of the reasons they were so eager and excited to use a second-round draft pick (No. 43 overall) on Sidney Jones, who is recovering from an Achilles tendon injury suffered in March and who is very much a question mark to play this season.
