Eagles CB Ronald Darby Expected To Start Camp On PUP

According to Ian Rapoport, Eagles CB Ronald Darby is expected to start training camp on the PUP list. 

Darby is still recovering from a torn ACL suffered midway through the 2018 season. Rapoport says Darby could be ready to play by Week 1. If healthy, he’s projected to be Philadelphia’s No. 1 corner. 

Darby visited with the Chiefs during free agency this March, but ultimately chose to re-sign with the Eagles on a one-year, $8.8 million deal to try and prove his worth in 2020. 

Darby, 25, is a former second-round pick of the Bills out of Florida State back in 2015. The Eagles traded WR Jordan Matthews and a 2018 third-round pick to the Bills in return for Darby in 2017.

Darby played out the final year of his four-year, $4.569 million contract and was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his NFL career before the Eagles brought him back on a one-year deal.

In 2018, Darby appeared in nine games for the Eagles and recorded 43 tackles, one interception and 12 pass defenses.
