Eagles' Byron Maxwell, Eric Rowe and Bennie Logan all miss Tuesday's practice

With a serious matchup with the division-leading Washington Redskins looming, several key pieces on defense sat out of Tuesday's practice.

According to Philadelphia Eagles' beat writer Nick Fierro, Byron Maxwell, Eric Rowe and Bennie Logan all missed Tuesday's practice.

If both Byron Maxwell (shoulder) and Eric Rowe (head) miss Saturday's matchup against the Redskins, Philadelphia's secondary could be in big trouble. With Nolan Carroll already on the injured reserve, the Eagles would be forced to roll with inexperienced corners E.J. Biggers and Jaylen Watkins. And Kirk Cousins, who threw for four touchdowns to three different receivers, could have a field day.
