Report: Eagles to place Jalen Reagor on injured reserve with UCL tear

The Philadelphia Eagles have struggled immensely early on, and their problems are only getting greater entering Week 3. With Alshon Jeffery already out of the Eagles lineup as he continues to recover from foot surgery, Philadelphia now will lose another key piece of their lineup. 

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Eagles are placing wide receiver Jalen Reagor on injured reserve with a UCL tear. He now may not be available until the second half of the season. 

Reagor's injury is being described as similar to the one suffered by New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees last season. Brees missed five games before returning. 

Reagor, 21, has five receptions for 96 yards this season. Against the Los Angeles Rams last week, he reeled in four catches for 41 yards.

With Reagor out, the Eagles will have to rely on DeSean Jackson, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Greg Ward and John Hightower.
