The Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Robert Quinn was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday, the team announced. This comes after the player complained to the team’s trainers that something didn’t seem right with his knee during a practice session last Thursday.
Following this revelation, Quinn was placed on his team’s injury report the next day and was unavailable for the team’s 35-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
Quinn will miss at least the next four games, meaning that he will be available for the Eagles’ final regular season game against the New York Giants at the earliest. According to a report from the NFL Network, the defensive end is set to undergo arthroscopic surgery.
The 32-year-old player posted a career-high 18.5 sacks in 2021—the second-most in the NFL—however, managed just one sack in seven games for the Bears this season before being traded.
Philadelphia got their hands on Quinn in late October ahead of the trade deadline for a fourth-round pick. To date, he has appeared in five games for the Eagles, amassing zero sacks and two tackles.
