Report: Eagles WR Reagor has torn thumb ligament

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor reportedly has a torn ligament in his thumb that will require surgery and a likely stint on injured reserve.

The first-round pick from TCU has a torn ulnar collateral ligament, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Wednesday.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees missed five games last year with a similar injury to his throwing hand.

Reagor, 21, who missed time in training camp with a shoulder injury, caught four passes for 41 yards in Sunday’s 37-19 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He caught one ball for 55 yards in the season-opening loss at Washington.

With veteran Alshon Jeffery still recovering from foot surgery, the only healthy wideouts on Philadelphia’s active roster are DeSean Jackson, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Greg Ward and 2020 fifth-round pick John Hightower.

The Eagles host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon.

Eagles WR Reagor injures shoulder; Wentz day-to-day

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles rookie receiver Jalen Reagor sustained an apparent shoulder injury during Sunday’s practice.

Reagor, the 21st overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, was injured after making a tackle on an interception.

Starting quarterback Carson Wentz was not responsible for the interception, as he sat out Sunday’s practice with a lower-body injury. The team said he is day-to-day.

Reagor underwent an MRI exam and reportedly won’t need surgery, but is expected to miss “about four weeks,” according to Geoff Mosher of insidethebirds.com.

Reagor’s status, however, will be determined after he undergoes an MRI. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the “team doesn’t believe it is serious, but doesn’t know for sure.”

Reagor, 21, led TCU in receptions (43) and yards (611) and caught five touchdowns in 2019. In three seasons with the Horned Frogs, he recorded 148 catches for 2,248 yards and 22 receiving TDs.
