Maragos (knee) announced Tuesday via his personal twitter account that he's retiring from football.

EDGE Analysis

Maragos just underwent his third knee surgery of his career in December to clean up a torn PCL he suffered in 2017, and the injury was most likely the cause for retirement. The 32-year-old has primarily served as a significant special teams contributor throughout his career.

Maragos (knee) was released by the Eagles on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maragos missed the entirety of the 2018 season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn PCL in late 2017, and underwent additional knee surgery in December. The 32-year-old has primarily served as a significant special teams contributor throughout his career.

Maragos (knee) is undergoing surgery Tuesday to address the torn PCL in his right knee, according to his official Twitter account.

EDGE Analysis

Maragos initially suffered a torn PCL in his right knee during Week 6 of the 2017 season, and continues to manage his recovery from the tricky injury. The 31-year-old will work to recover in time to suit up for a 2019 comeback campaign.

Maragos (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maragos will now miss at least the first six weeks of the season as he continues to ease back from the torn PCL in his right knee that prematurely ended his 2017 campaign. Rodney McLeod is slated to start at free safety next to SS Malcolm Jenkins.

Maragos (knee) was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday, Dave Spadaro of the Eagles' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maragos has been out since Week 6 of the 2017 season, when he suffered a torn PCL in his right knee against the Panthers. It's a tricky injury to recover from, and Maragos is 31 years old so time isn't on his side. If he can't get lifted from the PUP list by Week 1, he stands to miss the first six games of the season.

Maragos (knee) may not be ready for the start of the regular season, Peter Jackel of The Journal Times reports. "I'm coming up on five months [into rehabilitation] and I've still got another four to seven months to go," said Maragos. "But it's going real well and I think I'm on the shorter end, for sure. My goal is to get ready for the start of the season."

EDGE Analysis

Maragos, who originally injured his right knee Oct. 12 against the Panthers, is recovering from a torn PCL. Barring an unexpectedly quick return, it sounds like he could be a candidate to open the 2018 season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, which would prevent him from playing in the first six games.

The Eagles placed Maragos (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though he's listed on the depth chart as a reserve safety, Maragos provided nearly all of his value on special teams, where he had served as the Eagles' captain and top contributor. According to head coach Doug Pederson, the Eagles plan to take a committee approach to filling Maragos void on the return and kick-coverage units, with Pederson specifically citing safeties Corey Graham and Jaylen Watkins and running back Corey Clement as players who could step into larger roles. The team signed practice squad linebacker Nate Gerry to assume Maragos' spot on the 53-man roster.

Maragos has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Panthers with a knee injury.

EDGE Analysis

Maragos suffered the knee injury while on punt coverage in the fourth quarter. We'll await word from the Eagles with regards to the exact nature of his injury.

Maragos signed a three year extension worth $6 million ($2.25 million guaranteed) with the Eagles on Wednesday, Adam Caplan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maragos' contract extension also includes around an extra $300K with Pro Bowl incentives, as the backup safety intends on spending three more years in Philadelphia. Through 10 games so far this season, he's notched just six tackles (four solo), but serves as a veteran tool for the team's special teams unit.

Eagles signed S Chris Maragos to a three-year, $4 million contract. The deal includes $1 million guaranteed. Maragos won't really help the Eagles fill the hole next to newly acquired Malcolm Jenkins at safety, but he is one of the game's top special teams players. The Redskins were also interested in Maragos' services.
