Maddox's participation in Friday's practice will provide additional clarity to the situation.

Maddox (knee) has returned to Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Maddox put up eight tackles (three assisted) and defended a pass in Sunday's 32-6 win over Atlanta.
Maddox played 45 of 72 total snaps as the Eagles' nickel corner. He'll likely see a lot of opportunities to rack up stats this season as opposing quarterbacks look to avoid Darius Slay.

Eagles' Avonte Maddox: Competition for starting job
Rotowire
Maddox will compete with the recently signed Steven Nelson for a spot at corner opposite Darius Slay, Dave Spadaro of the Eagles' official site reports.
Maddox originally looked set to reprise his 2020 role opposite Slay despite ranking as one of the worst corners in the league, but now Nelson is in the mix as well. As a result of the 25-year-old Maddox's poor play, there had been rumors of a move to nickel corner all offseason, so he should retain a job of some sort no matter how things play out with Nelson in camp.
