Eagles' top corners face depth concerns of Cowboys in NFC East rankings

Summary

As the 2026 NFL season approaches, the Philadelphia Eagles are seen as having the premier cornerback unit in the NFC East, driven by the talents of Riq Woolen, Cooper DeJean, and Quinyon Mitchell. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys feature a potentially strong group, yet face injury uncertainties for key players like Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland. The New York Giants are rebuilding, with a focus on developing rookie Colton Hood, while the Washington Commanders have made modest improvements but lack depth. With training camps underway, team strategies for both starters and depth will be put to the test before the regular season kicks off.
