Eagles stud rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell suffered a shoulder injury in the first quarter against the Rams in the divisional round playoff and is questionable to return.

Mitchell, 23, suffered the injury on the first drive of the game and was replaced by veteran Isaiah Rodgers. The Eagles gave up a touchdown on the first drive after Mitchell left the game.

Rodgers has played a lot this year, but he usually comes in for Darius Slay. Rodgers this season played 328 defensive snaps (31%).

After a trip to the blue medical tent, Mitchell went inside. Rodgers was on the field for the second defensive move.

The Eagles drafted Mitchell with the 22nd overall pick out of Toledo, and he has had a stellar rookie season. Mitchell started 16 games in the regular season before being rested in Week 18. He had his first career interception last week in the wild card round win over the Packers.
