Eagles elevate linebacker Christian Elliss and punter Brett Kern for matchup at Bears

The Philadelphia Eagles have elevated rugged linebacker Christian Elliss and veteran punter Brett Kern from the practice squad to the active roster for matchup at the Chicago Bears

The Eagles announced two practice squad elevations for Sunday’s game, promoting linebacker Christian Elliss and veteran punter Brett Kern.

The most important move was Dallas Goedert being held out another week as the team looks ahead to Christmas Eve at the Cowboys. Goedert will now have missed over a month since his injury, and Philadelphia will look to Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra against Chicago.

• Punter Brett Kern, the three-time Pro Bowl selection, will make his Eagles debut. Kern will also serve as the holder for kicker Jake Elliott.
