With simply over 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter on Sunday, the Eagles secondary made a huge play, separating a deep go by the Ravens. As Cooper DeJean, Reed Blankenship, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson came down on the ball, Blankenship ended up taking a shot to the head and had to leave the video game.
Soon after being assessed in the blue medical camping tent on the sideline, the security made his method into the locker space and was eventually eliminated with a concussion.

Blankenship had an injury scare recently, and this after DC Vic Fangio acknowledged that he is the quarterback of the secondary. He plays a huge function in the success that the group has actually been having on that side of the ball, and having him on the field is constantly much better than not– something all of us discovered in 2015 after he suffered a number of rib injuries.
Tristan McCollum took the field in his location. Fangio had actually formerly spoken about how McCollum had the most representatives returning through training school, so he felt comfy calling him the backup heading into this video game.
Hopefully Blankenship isn't out long-lasting, and he'll be back to snagging interceptions once again in no time.
