The Philadelphia Eagles activated cornerback Avonte Maddox from injured reserve on Saturday.
He’s set to play in Sunday’s key NFC East game against the New York Giants. Maddox returned to practice Wednesday after a stint on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
Maddox, 26, had 27 tackles, an interception, a forced fumble and three passes defensed in six games (five starts) this season before landing on injured reserve on Nov. 14.
Maddox has four career interceptions, 29 passes defensed and five forced fumbles in 57 career games (33 starts) for the Eagles, who selected him in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
The Eagles (11-1) also elevated LB Christian Elliss to the active roster to face the Giants (7-4-1).
