It was a non-contact injury while covering Jordan Reed – he may have stepped on his foot? – during a Redskins possession midway through the second quarter. He was later carted off the field with the team around him.

The Eagles just lost their best corner, a position where they have no depth.
UPDATE: Maybe there’s hope?
The best hope is Darby suffered a subtalar ankle dislocation without fracture and could come back this season. If it is an associated fracture and ankle joint dislocation, he will need season-ending surgery.
When Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III suffered a subtalar dislocation in September 2014, he missed six weeks.
