Report: Eagles' James Bradberry (leg) out 6-8 weeks

Philadelphia Eagles veteran defensive back James Bradberry is expected to miss approximately six-to-eight weeks after sustaining a lower leg injury in Wednesday's practice, NFL Network reported.

Per Thursday's report, Bradberry will not require surgery, however the injury involves a tendon.

It was not immediately known how the former Pro Bowl cornerback sustained the injury.

Bradberry, 31, willingly shuffled from cornerback to safety this summer under new Eagles coordinator Vic Fangio after a poor season in coverage.

Bradberry was a second-team All-Pro and scored the top coverage grade under Pro Football Focus evaluations in 2022. He had his worst year in the NFL in 2023, however, giving up a career-high 11 touchdown passes and a 114.3 passer rating when targeted. He allowed two TD passes and a QB rating under 50 in 2022.

Bradberry has totaled 478 tackles, 19 interceptions, four forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in 125 career games (124 starts) with the Carolina Panthers (2016-19), New York Giants (2020-21) and Eagles.
