Ronald Darby is off to a rough start in Philadelphia.

The Eagles' third-year cornerback suffered a gruesome ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Redskins and needed to be carted off the field.

Darby hurt his right ankle just a few minutes into the second quarter when he was running across the field and got his foot caught in the turf.

The non-contact injury sent him to the locker room and he was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Darby, 23, was acquired by the Eagles just three weeks ago after Philadephia traded receiver Jordan Matthews and a third-round pick to the Bills. His loss is a brutal blow to the team's offense after getting off to a monster start that included a 58-yard touchdown pass to Nelson Agholor on the first possession courtesy of quarterback Carson Wentz.
