The Eagles Will Be Without Fletcher Cox Against The Rams

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — The Eagles will face the Rams on Sunday in Los Angeles without six-time Pro Bowler Fletcher Cox.

Cox, 32, had an epidural in his back earlier this week, but the team expects he will only be out for a week.

Here is the Eagles’ full injury report for the weekend:

Out of: Fletcher Cox (back), Cam Jurgens (foot), Marlton Tuipulotu (triceps), Sydney Brown (hamstring)

Questionable: Britain Covey (concussion)

The Eagles have Justin Evans and Quez Watkins returning.

According to head coach Nick Sirianni, Jürgens, the starting right winger, is in action “week to week.” Veteran Sua Opeta will take his place against the Rams.

Brown was able to practice this week but will have to sit out at least one more game before returning.

Without Cox and Tuipulotu, the Eagles’ depth at defensive tackle will be tested a bit against the Rams. At their disposal are Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Milton Williams, Kentavius Street and Moro Ojomo. Ojomo is expected to make his NFL debut on Sunday.

“They’ve worked hard to get a chance to have more representatives if that’s the case, if that happens this week, and just take advantage of the opportunities,” Sirianni said. “Being a substitute in this league is about taking your chances and taking them when you get them.

“So that’s what I really want to see, and just play with that energy, that passion and that fire that they’ve been playing with at practice since they’ve been here.”
