The Eagles are in jeopardy of missing tight end Zach Ertz and cornerback Leodis McKelvin for the Week 2 game against the Chicago Bears - and potentially longer.
Ertz suffered a displacement of the first rib in his left shoulder in Sunday's 29-10 win over the Cleveland Browns, an injury that could keep the standout tight end out for an extended period. McKelvin strained his left hamstring. Coach Doug Pederson classified both players as "week-to-week," which he admitted is more pessimistic than the usual day-to-day answer he gives for relatively minor injuries.
As exciting as the season-opening victory was for the franchise, the injuries force the coaching staff and personnel department to look closely at the roster in the coming days to prepare for potential absences.
