Eagles DC Vic Fangio Hints at Quinyon Mitchell Playing Every Snap vs. Packers in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio Provides Insight into Quinyon Mitchell's Role

Philadelphia Eagles Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio hinted at the possibility of Quinyon Mitchell playing every defensive snap in their season opener against the Green Bay Packers in Week 1. Fangio praised Mitchell's versatility and ability to play multiple positions in the secondary.

Mitchell's Versatility and Contributions

Mitchell, a fourth-year safety, has been a valuable contributor to the Eagles' defense since being drafted in 2019. He has played 41 games, registering 103 tackles, 4 interceptions, and 9 pass breakups. Mitchell's versatility allows him to play both safety positions, as well as cornerback in certain packages.

Filling a Need in the Secondary

The Eagles have faced some injuries in their secondary this preseason, with starting safety Anthony Harris and cornerback Avonte Maddox both missing time. Mitchell's ability to play multiple positions could provide a solution to these absences and ensure the Eagles have enough healthy bodies on the field.

Fangio's Praise and Expectations

Fangio spoke highly of Mitchell's abilities and hinted at the possibility of him playing every snap in Week 1. "Quinyon is a very versatile player who can do a lot of different things for us," Fangio said. "He's a smart player who understands the game and can make plays all over the field. We're excited to see what he can do this season."
