Ian Rapoport confirmed the worst fears of many on Thursday night. After Nate Sudfeld landed awkwardly after a pass in the Eagles preseason opener, he was carted inside with an air cast and taken into the medical tent. Pederson met with reporters after the 27-10 loss to confirm the status of the injury.
If the Eagles aren’t looking to a backup just yet, they may at least need a veteran arm to tide them through preseason. Clayton Thorson was nothing short of worrying in his first taste of preseason football, but Cody Kessler now has a clear path to the QB2 spot, at least for now.
