Sydney Brown was sidelined during the game due to a knee injury, leaving the Eagles' secondary even more vulnerable. His absence, along with Reed Blankenship's concussion, forced the team to rely on less experienced players, highlighting the challenges the defense faced.

Sydney Brown was inactive for the game against the Panthers, leaving the Eagles shorthanded at safety alongside Reed Blankenship. This absence put additional pressure on Gardner-Johnson and McCollum to step up in a critical defensive role.

Sydney Brown has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers due to a knee injury, prompting the Eagles to elevate safety Andrè Sam from the practice squad for additional support in the secondary.

Sydney Brown missed practice for the second consecutive day, putting his status for the upcoming game against the Panthers in doubt due to a knee injury. If he is ruled out, first-year safety Tristin McCollum will likely make his first NFL start in his place.

Sydney Brown has fallen behind Tristin McCollum in the safety depth chart, likely due to his slow start to the season after recovering from a torn ACL. Despite being active for six games, Brown has played only 27 snaps on defense compared to 170 on special teams. Fangio may be waiting for Brown to better grasp the defensive scheme before giving him more playing time, as McCollum currently appears to be the next man up behind Blankenship.
