Jeremiah Trotter Jr. Earns Praise And Contendership For Starting Role

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is making a strong case for increased playing time after recording a game-high 15 tackles in a Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Filling in for the injured Zack Baun, Trotter leads all Eagles defenders with 19 tackles in part-time duty. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio acknowledged his stellar performance, noting it strongly merits consideration for an expanded starting role moving forward.
