Battles injuries in 2022
Latest Headline: Published 2023-03-01
Maddox appeared in nine regular-season games and recorded 43 tackles, three pass breakups, three forced fumbles, one sack, one interception and one fumble recovery across 439 defensive snaps.
Maddox missed multiple games in a row on three separate occasions during the campaign due to a trio of injuries, but when available, he was a force for Philadelphia's stout defense. After missing the divisional-round win over the Giants, the fifth-year cornerback returned to action for the NFL Championship Game and Super Bowl, totaling 10 tackles between those two games. He signed a three-year extension with the Eagles in 2021, so he's still under contract for two more seasons and should remain a prominent part of the secondary as long as he stays healthy.

Maddox (toe) doesn't have a designation ahead of Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs on Sunday.
Maddox picked up a toe injury Week 16 and sat out the Eagles' ensuing three games, but he was able to return for the NFC Championship Game versus the 49ers, recording three tackles on 19 of 41 defensive snaps. He didn't practice at all during the first week of Super Bowl prep, but he followed up back-to-back limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday with all activity to cap this week. As a result, Maddox is poised to be a part of an Eagles cornerback group Sunday that also includes Darius Slay and James Bradberry.
Appears ready for Super Bowl

Maddox (toe) doesn't have a designation after the first week of preparation ahead of Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 12.
After sustaining a toe injury Week 16, Maddox missed the Eagles' ensuing three games before returning for this past Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers. He since has been listed on Philadelphia practice reports with toe and rest, so despite taking in Friday's session in a walking boot -- per Zach Berman of The Athletic -- Maddox doesn't appear to be in danger of sitting out the Super Bowl considering his lack of designation more than a week ahead of the contest.
Not practicing

Maddox (toe) has a walking boot on his left foot and isn't practicing Friday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Maddox played 19 snaps in the NFC Championship Game after missing more than a month with a toe injury. If he isn't available for the Super Bowl against Kansas City, the Eagles likely will turn back to Josiah Scott as their slot corner in nickel packages. Maddox still has a week to return to practice before the big game.
No designation for Sunday

Maddox (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.
Maddox returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since suffering the toe injury against Dallas on Dec. 24. He remained limited Thursday but was upgraded to a full participant Friday and has been cleared for game action. The fifth-year cornerback recorded 43 tackles, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, one sack and one interception across nine appearances this season and figures to reprise his role as Philadelphia's top slot corner during the NFC title game.
Remains iffy for Sunday

Maddox (toe) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Maddox is on the verge of missing a fourth consecutive matchup this weekend due to a toe injury, as the fifth-year cornerback said Thursday that he's still taking it day-by-day, per Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia. Maddox also practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, so Friday's practice/injury report should ultimately provide further clarification regarding the 26-year-old's availability for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.
Returns to practice Wednesday

Maddox (toe) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.
Maddox was back on the practice field for the first time since suffering the toe injury against Dallas on Dec. 24. Because he's been sidelined for just over a month, Maddox will likely have to log at least one full practice by Friday if he wants to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.
Could practice again this week
Latest Headline: Published 2023-01-23
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Monday he's "hopeful" that Maddox (toe) will return to practice Wednesday, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Maddox has not practiced or played since he sustained a toe injury in the Week 16 loss to Dallas. While Sirianni did express optimism, he also clarified that the team still needs to see the cornerback perform "the football movements that he has to go out there and do," before deciding if he's fit to play again. The 26-year-old also was seen with a walking boot in the locker room following Saturday's divisional-round win over the Giants, per Frank. Therefore, it could be more likely that Maddox will be ready to return by the Super Bowl if Philadelphia advances with a win during Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.
Sitting out Saturday's playoff tilt

Maddox (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Giants.
Maddox sustained a toe injury during the Week 16 loss to Dallas, leaving him sidelined for the final two games of the regular season. While the Eagles had a week off during the wild-card round as the No. 1 seed in the NFC, the 26-year-old cornerback will now miss his third consecutive contest due to this issue. In his absence, defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson will likely slot in at nickel corner while safeties Marcus Epps and Reed Blankenship both see significant usage in the secondary as well.
Officially out for Week 18

Maddox (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
As expected, Maddox will miss the regular-season finale due to a toe injury that he suffered during Philadelphia's Christmas Eve loss to Dallas. C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen), who's on track to play in Week 18, will presumably take over Maddox's usual role as the Eagles' primary slot cornerback.
