Eagles place Cam Jurgens on IR; Elevate CB Bradley Roby for matchup vs. Rams

After ruling Cam Jurgens out when they released their final injury report on Friday, the Eagles have now placed the second-year right guard on Injured Reserve, meaning he’ll miss the next four games.

Jurgens will be eligible to return for the Week 9 matchup (November 5) against Dallas.

The Eagles second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft was a first-year starter at the right guard spot. Jurgens had his highest graded performance of the season, according to Pro Football Focus.

Sua Opeta replaced Jurgens last Sunday and is slated to start at right guard against the Rams.

This is Mann’s third time being elevated this season. He will need to be signed to the active roster following the game or placed on waivers.

Philadelphia has one open spot on the active roster after the Eagles placed Cam Jurgens on Injured Reserve on Saturday. Jurgens suffered a foot injury last Sunday against the Commanders. Sua Opeta will start at right guard against the Rams in Jurgens’ place.

Mann has punted four times for an average of 41.8 yards per punt.

Roby was signed to the practice squad until he reached game shape, and he will make his Eagles debut this weekend.

The veteran cornerback has spent nine years playing with Denver, Houston, and New Orleans.

Roby spent last season with the Saints, where he played in 13 games (10 starts, including the win over the Eagles) and totaled 36 tackles and five passes defensed in 600 defensive snaps.

In 126 career games (60 starts), Roby has accumulated 11 interceptions (3 returned for touchdowns), 85 pass deflections, eight forced fumbles, seven fumble recoveries, and five sacks.
