The Philadelphia Eagles and their fans got some great news on Friday before their NFC Championship matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
One of their better defensive guys has been out since Week 16 and even missed a few games during the middle of the season. Avonte Maddox, the five-year veteran, is a vital part of this Eagles' secondary, one that was the best in the league for most of the season.
He will be back on Sunday after dealing with a toe issue for most of the back end of the season.
Per Pro Football Focus, Maddox has an overall grade of 71.3 and has had a decent season when he has played. This is huge because Josiah Scott, the backup to Maddox who has been starting since he went down with the injury, has not been playing his best ball. In fact, per PFF, he has an overall grade of 54 on the year.
The Eagles are getting a boost in their secondary to deal with a passing offense that has been pretty good on the season.
