No player in the Philadelphia Eagles secondary was torched more than Sidney Jones in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys targeted Jones throughout the afternoon and had great results, leading to 455 passing yards and three touchdowns for Dak Prescott.

Of course, not all of those yards or touchdowns are on Jones...but he was the main culprit picked on by Amari Cooper, who had 10 catches for 217 yards and three touchdowns in the game. The Eagles are so beat up at cornerback, Jones had no choice but to play on an injured hamstring.

"It’s nowhere near 100 (percent)," Jones said (via NBC Sports Philadelphia). "I can tell you that for sure. This hammy’s been frustrating. It lingers. Just gotta get healthy at the end of the day.

"It hurt but I was like, 'I gotta go back in, it’s do or die.' I fought. I went back in and gave my best effort."

If the Eagles are eliminated from the playoff race (or even if they aren't), Sunday may be the last time the Eagles see Jones on the field this season.

Jones has the talent to succeed at the NFL level, but his Achilles injury has been staggering. Jones needed a year to recover from the injury, making this essentially his rookie season. Heading into Sunday's game, Jones allowed 24 catches for 209 yards and a touchdown with opposing quarterbacks targeting him having a 93.6 passer rating...but the majority of that success came from the slot.

Jones has been brutal on the outside, not demonstrating the speed to catch up with with NFL receivers. That's the result of the hamstring injury that has lingered him since Week 5. Jones has been on and off the injury report since, being 100 percent than having a setback.

He played through the injury Sunday because he was their best option. Jalen Mills is out for the season, Ronald Darby is out for the season, Avonte Maddox didn't play, Chandon Sullivan was inactive. Rasul Douglas was playing on the other side of the field (and played all 99 snaps in the loss) and Cre'von LeBlanc was playing the slot.

The only other option was De'Vante Bausby, who was cut by the Eagles prior to the season and rejoined the team a month ago. When Bausby came in for Jones, he gave up the 75-yard touchdown pass to Amari Cooper, facing no better than Joness did on him.

For all the depth the Eagles had at cornerback heading into the year, they faded into the abyss week-by-week with insurmountable injuries they just couldn't overcome. Jones certainly is included in that category.

The result is Dak Prescott having the most passing yards ever given up by the Eagles in a regular season game. The situation has been that dire.
