Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Questionable for Week 2
Injury rocks Eagles' secondary
The Philadelphia Eagles' secondary has been dealt a blow with the news that starting safety Johnny Wilson is questionable for Week 2.
Wilson suffered a hamstring injury in the Eagles' 38-35 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 1.
The injury occurred in the fourth quarter when Wilson was covering Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson.
Wilson was able to walk off the field under his own power, but he did not return to the game.
Wilson's injury could force the Eagles to make a change in their secondary
With Wilson questionable for Week 2, the Eagles may have to make a change in their secondary.
One option would be to move Avonte Maddox from cornerback to safety.
Maddox has experience playing safety, and he has the skills to be a solid starter at the position.
Marcus Epps could also see increased playing time
Another option for the Eagles is to give Marcus Epps increased playing time.
Epps is a young safety who has shown promise in his limited opportunities.
He could be ready to take on a bigger role in the defense.
Eagles' defense will be tested in Week 2
The Eagles' defense will be tested in Week 2 when they face the San Francisco 49ers.
The 49ers have a high-powered offense led by quarterback Trey Lance.
The Eagles will need to be at their best to slow down the 49ers' offense.
Conclusion
The Eagles are hoping that Wilson will be able to play in Week 2, but his status is up in the air.
If Wilson is unable to play, the Eagles will have to make a change in their secondary.
The Eagles' defense will be tested in Week 2 against the 49ers, regardless of who is playing in the secondary.
