James Bradberry IV - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

What Will Eagles Do With James Bradberry? Philadelphia’s former top cornerback is expected to be healthy soon, and his role on the team is no longer available.

Impact Bradberry sustained the injury during Wednesday's practice, and the initial timeline for his return is 6-to-8 weeks. The 2016 second-round pick will be forced to sit for the first four games of the regular season, and with the Eagles on a bye for Week 5, the earliest he could return would be for Week 6 against the Browns on Oct. 13. When he returns, Bradberry is expected to be utilized in multiple positions across the Eagles' secondary, primarily serving at safety.

Out 6-to-8 weeks with leg injury Bradberry (lower leg) suffered an injury involving a tendon at practice Wednesday and is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Bradberry's injury reportedly won't require surgery, but it will almost certainly lead to a stint on IR. That would rule out Bradberry, who converted to safety this offseason, out for Philadelphia's first four games of the year, which aligns nicely with the recovery timetable offered by Rapoport. The Eagles have a Week 5 bye, and Bradberry's earliest recovery timeline could leave him available to face the Browns on Oct. 13 in Week 6.

Switching to safety Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio told reporters Thursday that Bradberry will be moving to safety in 2024, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

Impact After being spotted working with the second-team defense at safety Wednesday, Fangio made Bradberry's positional change official when talking to reporters Thursday. Fangio also noted that Bradberry could still play some corner for Philadelphia as well. If the positional switch works out for the Eagles, Bradberry could serve as a versatile defensive back and even get a starting nod in the team's secondary. Conversely, the 30-year-old could be in jeopardy of missing Philadelphia's 53-man roster if the switch doesn't work out.

Impact Bradberry had been dealing with some sort of injury earlier in the offseason, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. After posting an All-Pro campaign in 2022, Bradberry's play substantially declined the following season, as he allowed 740 yards across 16 games. Expect the 30-year-old to serve as a rotational defensive back in Philadelphia's secondary in 2024.
