Eagles WR Jalen Reagor ‘trending’ towards playing in season opener vs. Washington

The Philadelphia Eagles could have one of their most explosive players available for the season opener after it initially looked like he could miss two games. Jalen Reagor is a fast healer and after slightly tearing his labrum almost two weeks ago, he’s now trending towards making his first NFL start against Washington on Sunday per Ian Rapoport.

Reagor was a full participant in Thursday’s practice and the odds are now in favor of the Eagles rookie receiver playing in the season opener.

Reagor suffered the shoulder injury on Aug. 31 during a scrimmage at Lincoln Financial Field, but he had already flashed the explosive playmaking that has Eagles coaches salivating over being able to use him in multiple roles.

Jalen Reagor to undergo an MRI on his shoulder after suffering an injury

Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor will undergo an MRI on his shoulder after he was forced to leave the team’s scrimmage on Sunday Adam Schefter is reporting.

The No. 21 over pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Reagor was forced to exit the team’s scrimmage on the final day of training camp after suffering the injury trying to make a tackle on a Jalen Hurts interception by Will Parks.

Eagles’ star quarterback Carson Wentz was held out of the scrimmage with a lower-body injury and he’s been listed as day to day, while the team works to find a left tackle in Andre Dillard’s absence.

Reagor was having a great camp and had the inside track on starting at wide receiver opposite DeSean Jackson.
