Jordan Davis was such a difference-maker in the middle of the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive line the first two months of the season that the team needed to sign two former Pro Bowl players to replace him after the rookie injured his ankle.
Davis helped the Eagles start 8-0 before missing four games with a high ankle sprain. After Philadelphia allowed 152 yards rushing in its first loss of the season, to Washington on Nov. 14, the team signed veteran defensive tackles Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh.
The 22-year-old Davis also pointed out that he’s surrounded by veterans on the defensive line, including Fletcher Cox, Javon Hargrave and Brandon Graham. Philadelphia's defense is ranked No. 2 in the NFL in fewest yards allowed and first in sacks with 61. Davis doesn’t have any sacks and his snap count has decreased since his return from injury, but he doesn’t care about individual accolades as long as the team wins.
