PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Eagles cornerback Ronald Darby is out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL, head coach Doug Pederson announced Monday. The team's top corner suffered the injury in the third quarter of the Eagles' 27-20 loss to the Cowboys Sunday night.

That leaves the Eagles extremely thin at corner. Jalen Mills missed Sunday's game with a foot injury and 2017 second-round pick Sidney Jones has missed the last three games while dealing with a hamstring injury.

Rasul Douglas is now the team's top corner heading into a Week 11 matchup with the NFL's best offense -- the New Orleans Saints, who are averaging 36.7 points.

Things are not great in Philadelphia.
