list has a new addition. Destiny Vaeao is the latest player to end up on IR.The Eagles waived/injured Vaeao on Tuesday in order to make room for cornerback Dexter McDougle on the 53-man roster. With Vaeao going unclaimed on waivers Cheap Fletcher Cox Jersey , he reverted to Philadelphia’s injured reserve list. Vaeao reportedly suffered a quadriceps injury during the Eagles’ win over the Giants on Thursday Night Football. Despite playing the sixth most snaps (40.8%) of any Eagles defensive lineman this season, Vaeao hadn’t been very productive. The 2016 undrafted free agent signing only had two tackles, two quarterback hits, one sack, and one tackle for loss. By comparison, Treyvon Hester — who was recently called up from the practice squad — already has three tackles and one quarterback hit while playing in just 6.8% of the Eagles’ defensive snaps. Still Cheap Destiny Vaeao Jersey , losing Vaeao means the Eagles now have just three full-time defensive tackles on the 53-man roster: Fletcher Cox, Haloti Ngata, and Hester. And Ngata is still dealing with a calf injury; the 34-year-old was limited during Wednesday’s practice. The Eagles can always have Michael Bennett and Brandon Graham play interior snaps. It’s also possible Tim Jernigan, who is now eligible to be activated from the non-football injury list, returns at some point this season.Speaking of potential returns, here’s a look at the players on injured reserve and when they’re eligible to be activated. Keep in mind the Eagles can only designate two of the following players to return. Players eligible to return to game action from injured reserve must miss a minimum of eight weeks Cheap Alshon Jeffery Jersey , but they can begin to practice again after just six weeks.I’ve excluded cornerback Elie Bouka and linebacker Paul Worrilow from the list here because the Eagles aren’t going to be using their two return spots on those fringe roster guys.It should also be noted Ajayi isn’t going to be able to return from his ACL injury.Wallace seems like the most obvious candidate to come back. His recovery timeline from a fractured fibula (non-displaced) should allow him to return at some point. Not to mention the Eagles could use the deep threat he presents.It’s unclear if McLeod might be able to return if the Eagles go on a deep run. Philadelphia might try to hold out hope for that possibility. If they determine it’s unlikely, the Eagles could always activate Hollins to give them more depth at receiver and on special teams. The Eagles won the Super Bowl while having a lot of significant names on IR last season. With the 2018 campaign not even halfway over, Philadelphia has already placed eight players on the potentially season-ending list.Rishard Matthews released by Titans ahead of Eagles game The Eagles will have one less receiver to game plan for on Sunday against the Titans, with news that Rishard Matthews asked the team for his release on Wednesday night, citing a lack of play time and targets. The team is officially granting his request to be released contemplating whether they could make a trade instead.“I’ve been the leading receiver for two years,” Matthews continued Brandon Brooks Jersey , according to A to Z Sports Nashville. “Then all of a sudden I’m barely playing and not even starting. Using my injury as the scapegoat. Look at number of snaps and targets.”Perhaps making the decision even more surprising, was Matthews having signed a contract extension just before training camp through 2019.Tennessee was reportedly weighing their options between trying to find a trade for the receiver or releasing him outright — they ultimately ended up doing the latter. Further complicating their decision was whether or not the Eagles would be interested in signing Matthews just a couple days before their matchup.The Eagles added Jordan Matthews to their receiving corps just last week, and Alshon Jeffery was finally medically cleared for contact, but Doug Pederson was unsure yet if he’d be ready to go on Sunday. Whether the team wants to add some more help at the position is unknown to people outside those front office meetings.Rishard Matthews missed most of OTAs with an Achilles injury and then most of training camp with a torn meniscus. He was back in time to start the regular season, but in three games had only six targets, resulting in three catches for 11 total yards.The receiver was expected to see an uptick in opportunities in the upcoming games with Marcus Mariota back as the starter and injuries to Delanie Walker and Adoree’ Jackson.Now with Matthews just waiting for his walking papers to be finalized Darren Sproles Jersey , the Eagles won’t have to face the Titans’ former No. 1 receiver. Instead, the Philadelphia defense will need to shift their focus to Corey Davis, Taywan Taylor and Tajae Sharpe. It doesn’t appear that Matthews regrets his decision, after posting on Instagram that he’s open to playing for another team, but fine with hanging out at home with his family. « The 70th Reese’s Senior Bowl endedI’m sure everyone knows the Titans » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
