Eagles vs. Bucs inactives: Avonte Maddox to start at safety with Reed Blankenship ruled out

Bucs #Bucs

The Eagles will be without two key starters for tonight’s NFC Wild Card Round game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after Reed Blankenship was ruled out with a groin injury.

Blankenship was listed as questionable, but after a light pregame workout, the talented safety will miss Monday’s matchup at Raymond James Stadium.

All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown will also be out with a knee injury suffered in the Week 18 loss to the Giants.

Jalen Hurts was a limited participant during Thursday’s practice before being upgraded to a full participant on Friday and Saturday.

Cornerback Darius Slay, wide receiver DeVonta Smith and D’Andre Swift were full participants in the final practice of the week and had no game status designations.

Blankenship is inactive with a groin injury.

Brown is out with a knee injury he sustained in the regular-season finale.

Brown will miss the matchup with a torn ACL.

The rookie will serve as the emergency quarterback and can only play if Jalen Hurts and Marcus Mariota get hurt.

The rookie is inactive tonight.

With D’Andre Swift back in the lineup, Penny will be inactive.
