Another day, another Eagles’ offensive line injury. Jason Peters appeared on the injury report today, but in news that’s actually surprising, 24-year old Sua Opeta was placed on IR with a back injury.
According to Dave Zangaro, Opeta will need surgery on a bulging disc in his back.
Today, Jeff Stoutland spoke highly of the former UDFA who joined the Eagles out of Weber State in 2019. Sua Opeta played in 24% of the Eagles’ snaps this season, garnering a 57.6 PFF grade and allowing 1 sack. He jumped Nate Herbig in the depth chart despite a very strong start to the year by his teammate.
