Doug Pederson Says Avonte Maddox Has Movement After Scary Hit From Teammate

Great news for Eagles player Avonte Maddox — head coach Doug Pederson says the cornerback is coherent and has feeling in his extremities after taking a scary blow from his teammate on Thursday.

Maddox was stretchered off the field with a little over 1 minute left in Philly’s TNF win over the Green Bay Packers … after his teammate, Andrew Sendejo, accidentally collided with him while trying to make a tackle.

FYI — Sendejo has made a name for himself as one of the hardest-hitting players in the league … and even wore a “Make Football Violent Again” hat during training camp last season.

Packers players JK Scott and Ty Summers took a knee and said a prayer for Maddox while he was put on the stretcher … and the entire Eagles team came on to the field to make sure he was okay.

Maddox was taken to a local hospital to get checked out … but was discharged and able to fly home with the team.

This wasn’t the only violent moment in the game — Packers running back Jamaal Williams was also stretchered off in the first quarter … after a helmet-to-helmet hit with Derek Barnett.
