Rodgers will make his first start of the season at cornerback in Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars. With Darius Slay (groin) sidelined, Rodgers will get the start opposite Quinyon Mitchell at cornerback. The 26-year-old spent the week taking notes as part of his weekly preparation for the opportunity. He has not seen more than 21 defensive snaps (40 percent) in any game this season.

Rodgers (hand) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Rodgers was held out of the Eagles' Week 1 win over the Packers due to a hand injury, which he revealed was a fracture that he suffered on the last day of training camp that required surgery, per Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com. His full participation in Thursday's session sets the stage for him to suit up Monday against the Falcons, after he was inactive for the Eagles' Week 1 win over the Packers in Brazil. He'll be making his Eagles debut this weekend, as Rodgers signed with Philadelphia last August but was ineligible to compete while serving a season-long suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy. He previously appeared in 15 games for the Colts in 2022, registering 34 tackles (24 solo), three pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Rodgers (hand) was ruled out for Friday night's Week 1 opener against the Packers in Brazil. After being suspended the entirety of the 2023 season for gambling, Rodgers won a job with the Eagles this summer but will have to wait to make his debut with the team. Rodgers is expected to fill a depth role in the secondary while handling kick-return duties this season. Kenneth Gainwell could slot into returner work versus Green Bay.

Rodgers was a limited participant in practice Tuesday due to a hand injury. Rodgers will look to upgrade to full participation by the Eagles' final practice of the week Thursday, which would likely ensure his availability for Friday's season opener versus the Packers in Brazil. The 26-year-old is slated to fill a depth role in the secondary in addition to serving as the Eagles' top kickoff returner.

Rodgers, who missed the entire 2023 season due to a suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy, has been one of Philadelphia's most impressive players this offseason, Tim McManus of ESPN reports. Rodgers doesn't seem to have slowed down at all despite being a year removed from the NFL field, with teammate A.J. Brown saying "he's flying around, and he's going to do special stuff for us this year." McManus reports that Rodgers will be in position to compete for a starting spot at outside corner opposite Darius Slay during training camp, primarily vying with Kelee Ringo and rookie first-round pick Quinyon Mitchell for the role.
