The Philadelphia Eagles are optimistic about rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell’s recovery from a shoulder injury sustained in the NFC Championship game against Washington. Despite being ruled out, Mitchell expressed confidence that he will make a full recovery.
Quinyon Mitchell on his Shoulder Injury: “I’m Going to Be Good”
Philadelphia Eagles rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell left Sunday’s playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams after tackling Matthew Stafford, but he doesn’t expect the injury to keep him out long-term.
During the game, Mitchell suffered a shoulder injury that forced him to leave the field and eventually led to his being ruled out. However, in a positive update, Eagles beat reporter Olivia Reiner spoke with Mitchell in the locker room, where he expressed confidence in his ability to recover from the injury.
“I’m fine,” Mitchell said when asked about his condition. When asked if he had any long-term concerns, he replied, “No, I’m going to be good.”
The team’s optimism about Mitchell’s recovery is reflected in their statement on social media: “star rookie CB Quinyon Mitchell is not believed to have sustained a serious shoulder injury in tonight’s win over the #Rams.” The Eagles are now hopeful that Mitchell will be ready for the NFC Championship game against Washington.
With Mitchell on the sidelines, Isaiah Rodgers took his place and has filled in for Darius Slay throughout the season. While this may present some challenges, Rodgers’ rapport with the defensive backs could help him rise to the occasion.
Injury Update: CB Quinyon Mitchell (Shoulder) Downgraded to Out
The Eagles’ injury report was updated earlier today, with Mitchell’s status downgraded from questionable to out. The team will need to monitor his progress and make any necessary adjustments to their defensive strategy.
The Road Ahead for the Eagles
Despite Mitchell’s absence, the Eagles are one win away from going back to the Super Bowl. With Rodgers ready to fill in, the team is poised to take on Washington and secure a spot in the championship game.
