Happy one month anniversary, Chandon Sullivan! Now go cover Odell Beckham.
Exactly one month ago, the Eagles brought up Sullivan from their practice squad. On Sunday afternoon, Sullivan will start at cornerback with two other guys who haven't even been with the team as long as him.
Rasul Douglas, who entered today listed as questionable, is officially active, but that doesn't mean he's going to play a ton.
De'Vante Bausby and Chandon Sullivan will be the starting CB's Rasul in a backup role since he didn't practice all week...— Derrick Gunn (@RealDGunnNBCS) November 25, 2018
Here's the full inactive list for Sunday:
Avonte Maddox (knee, ankle)
Jalen Mills (foot)
Sidney Jones (hamstring)
Darren Sproles (hamstring)
Jordan Hicks (calf)
Matt Pryor
Nate Sudfeld
Sullivan, Cre'Von LeBlanc and De'Vante Bausby are expected to start. Expect Sullivan and Bausby outside, with LeBlanc in the nickel corner role. Here's when all three got on the active roster:
Philadelphia Eagles

11/17: De'Vante Bausby promoted from the practice squad
11/5: Cre'Von LeBlanc claimed off waivers
10/25: Chandon Sullivan promoted from the practice squad
This is obviously going to be a problem against the Giants today. Malcolm Jenkins and Corey Graham are expected to start. The only other defensive backs who are active today are Tre Sullivan and Deiondre' Hall. Nate Gerry played safety in college too, but they're going to rely on him at linebacker without Hicks.
Pryor, the rookie OL, is the only healthy scratch today and he's the only player on the roster who has been inactive all season.
