• Eagles' James Bradberry: Placed on injured reserve

  08/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Bradberry (lower leg) was placed on the Eagles' injured reserve Thursday. Bradberry sustained the injury during Wednesday's practice, and the initial timeline for his return is 6-to-8 weeks. The 2016 second-round pick will be forced to sit for the first four games of the regular season, and with the Eagles on a bye for Week 5, the earliest he could return would be for Week 6 against the Browns on Oct. 13. When he returns, Bradberry is expected to be utilized in multiple positions across the Eagles' secondary, primarily serving at safety.

• Eagles' James Bradberry: Out 6-to-8 weeks with leg injury

  08/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Bradberry (lower leg) suffered an injury involving a tendon during Wednesday's practice and is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Bradberry's injury reportedly won't require surgery, but it will almost certainly lead to a stint on IR. That would rule out Bradberry, who converted to safety this offseason, out for Philadelphia's first four games of the year, which aligns with the recovery timetable offered by Rapoport. The Eagles have a Week 5 bye, and Bradberry's earliest recovery timeline could leave him available to face the Browns on Oct. 13 in Week 6.

• Eagles' James Bradberry: Switching to safety

  07/25/2024 • By RotoWire

  Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio told reporters Thursday that Bradberry will be moving to safety in 2024, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports. After being spotted working with the second-team defense at safety Wednesday, Fangio made Bradberry's positional change official when talking to reporters Thursday. Fangio also noted that Bradberry could still play some corner for Philadelphia as well. If the positional switch works out for the Eagles, Bradberry could serve as a versatile defensive back and even get a starting nod in the team's secondary. Conversely, the 30-year-old could be in jeopardy of missing Philadelphia's 53-man roster if the switch doesn't work out.

• Eagles' James Bradberry: Working with second team

  07/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  Bradberry (undisclosed) was spotted working with the second-team defense at safety Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Bradberry had been dealing with some sort of injury earlier in the offseason, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. After posting an All-Pro campaign in 2022, Bradberry's play substantially declined the following season, as he allowed 590 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in primary coverage across 16 regular-season games. Expect the 30-year-old to serve as a rotational defensive back in Philadelphia's secondary in 2024.

• Eagles' James Bradberry: Getting moved around

  06/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Bradberry has been seeing work at safety during practices this week, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Bradberry has also been seeing work inside at slot cornerback, as head coach Nick Sirianni is looking to take advantage of his versatility. With rookie first-round pick Quinyon Mitchell penciled in as a starter at corner opposite Darius Slay (back), the 30-year-old Bradberry may lose his starting gig after struggling in 2023. The Eagles have been testing Bradberry and second-round pick Cooper DeJean at different spots in the secondary, plus they have 28-year-old nickel corner Avonte Maddox hoping to rebound from back-to-back injury-marred seasons. The secondary was arguably Philadelphia's weakest position group last year but could be a strength for new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.
