Eli Stowers Placed on IR Before Philadelphia Eagles' Season Opener vs. Washington Commanders
The rookie tight end is expected to miss at least four games after a hamstring injury limited his practice, the team said.
- On Saturday, the Philadelphia Eagles placed rookie tight end Eli Stowers on the Injured Reserve List after an MRI revealed a quadriceps strain requiring at least four weeks of rehabilitation.
- Despite Stowers expressing optimism about playing in Sunday's opener against the Washington Commanders during Friday's media session, leg discomfort developed shortly thereafter, prompting the roster move.
- The Eagles will rely on tight ends Dallas Goedert, Johnny Mundt, and E.J. Jenkins for Sunday's game, while Stowers joins fellow tight end Grant Calcaterra on the Injured Reserve List.
- Before the injury, Stowers struggled to distinguish himself as a blocker or receiver during training camp, and he now faces a minimum four-week rehabilitation process for his quadriceps and hamstring issues.
- The team's rookie class faces a setback as the Eagles manage early-season roster depth, with Stowers' development paused while undergoing treatment alongside historical investment in early-round talent.
