The Eagles already have Malik Jackson on season-ending IR and Tim Jernigan set to miss his sixth straight game.

The Eagles DT rotation took yet another hit on Sunday against the Cowboys with Hassan Ridgeway suffering an injury.

Doug Pederson Described it as a week-to-week injury, but it may have been more serious than that.

On Wednesday afternoon, the team places Ridgeway on IR where he will join teammate Malik Jackson.

The team is now left with Fletcher Cox, who left the Cowboys game with his own injury, and two undrafted free agents the team signed on Monday.

Cox will be joined by former Clemson Power Ranger Anthony Huggins, who the team signed off of the Texans’ practice squad, and Anthony Rush, who was signed off the Raiders’ practice squad.

The team will almost certainly continue to rotate Vinny Curry and Brandon Graham inside to try and hide the depth issue that the Eagle obviously have.

Cutting the talented Treyvon Hester at the beginning of the season has really come back to bite the Eagles hard.

Ridgeway is in the final year of his deal and was acquired from the Colts for a seventh-round draft pick just a few months ago.

He had registered just eight tackles, but four quarterback hits and two sacks in his time with the Birds.
