McPhearson transitioned from outside corner to the nickel spot this summer, serving as Avonte Maddox’s primary backup. Additionally, McPhearson was a key contributor on special teams, being named NFC ST Player of the Week for Week 1 last season.

Philadelphia also lost their special teams ace Shaun Bradley to a torn Achilles last week. Here’s to a speedy recovery for both players.
