Eagles guard Isaac Seumalo will undergo season-ending surgery for his Lisfranc injury, per a club announcement. Seumalo will be placed on injured reserve, leaving the Birds with a major gap on their interior line.
A regular starter since October 2018, Seumalo is in his second year of his contract extension. This also marks his second straight year marred by injuries. In 2020, a knee injury limited him to just nine games. This time around, he’s done after just three starts — this was the outcome doctors feared after Seumalo had to be carted off in the fourth quarter.
Of course, this comes after the Eagles also lost Brandon Brooks for the year. They’re also awaiting word on left tackle Jordan Mailata, who was unable to play in last night’s 41-21 loss to the Cowboys. For now, Nate Herbig will likely take over Seumalo’s place in the lineup.
Meanwhile, defensive back K’Von Wallace is expected to miss three-to-six weeks with a partially separated shoulder (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero). While he avoided major structural damage, he’s expected to be placed on the short-term IR list.
And so it begins. The injury bug starts
It’s going to be a long season in Philly. Just hope colts and dolphins keep losing. They need a QB. Hurts isn’t the answer
so we can get another scapegoat. cant have a Philly team without a scapegoat.
Hurts was absolutely horrible last night. He looked like Willie Beamon when he first went in for the Miami Sharks and the game was going 100mph and grasp it. He was slow to read the D, didn’t make good choices, put his linemen in bad spots, threw some bad balls and even when he ran he was getting 2-3 yards and out. With the game slipping fast he was throwing that 3 yard slant. He is certainly not a franchise QB or the answer here.
got it. bad game = not franchise QB.
He hasn’t had one good game in 7 starts = not franchise QB
How could I forget his game against that juggernaut Atlanta? Make that 1 good game.
how on Earth was the Arizona game not a good game?
I’m really interested in what happens with the colts. Wentz has to play in about 13 games (full snaps) for the pick to the eagles to be a 1st rounder.
Say the colts are 3-9 after 12 games, do the colts bench wentz to prevent giving up a 1st rounder? If they do, what will that do to wentz and his future as the colts qb?
Seems like this trade was only going to go well if this year alone was a success.
But that would further fracture his delicate ego and would create the same issues he had in Philly. Even if we have three first rounders, Howie will screw the pooch. His draft record is atrocious.
Not one player or coach came out and backed up that nonsense. I don’t think it was a delicate ego, it was a QB pissed off because there’s holes all around him and Howie did get him a weapon or protection or even a high end defender. Instead he ignored the many team needs and wasted a high draft choice on a backup QB. That is a selection you make with a starting QB at the end of his career, you have no other imminent needs and a top flight talent somehow falls into your lap. There was absolutely no way that pick was going to work out well in Philly no matter what happened.
I 100% agree with that, but for someone who showed the promise that Wentz did, he should’ve taken that being pissed off mentality and turned it into trying to use it in the field. It made no sense to draft Hurts there, could’ve gone after O line, LB, or secondary. LBs been weak for a while, same with secondary. If Howie knew how to draft we’d probably stay on contention every year but he has to act like he’s the smartest GM in the league and it’s translated into horrible picks. Reagor being a very recent example when he could’ve had Jefferson. I don’t get his fetish for small receivers.
Here we go with the excuses
