Eagles place backup center Molk on injured reserve, add two players to practice squad

The Philadelphia Eagles made a number of roster moves on Tuesday.

 

Eagles backup center David Molk suffered a season-ending right bicep injury in last night's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Molk played only five snaps on special teams for the Eagles against the Falcons. The only option currently on the Eagles roster to replace Molk as the backup center is Josh Andrews, who has never played in a game for Philadelphia. 

The Eagles are rumored to bring back Julian Vandervelde to replace Molk's spot on the roster. Vandervelde spent the last three seasons in Philadelphia, but was one of the team's final roster cuts. 

Also, the Eagles have made three moves on their practice squad. They signed running back Kevin Monangai to the practice squad after Raheem Mostert was signed to the Miami Dolphins 53-man roster. The team also signed nose tackle Travis Raciti to the practice squad after releasing tight end Andrew Gleichert. All three players played for the Eagles during the preseason.
