Eagles Place James Bradberry on Injured Reserve

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry is set to miss six to eight weeks due to a lower leg injury sustained during practice, prompting the team to place him on injured reserve. This injury, involving a tendon, will sideline him for at least the first four games of the regular season, raising concerns about the team's pass defense, which struggled last season. In his absence, the Eagles have promoted linebacker Oren Burks to the active roster and signed offensive lineman Brett Toth to the practice squad. Bradberry's injury complicates the Eagles' defensive strategy, especially as he was transitioning to a safety role after a challenging previous season. With his contract and potential trade discussions now on hold, the team will rely on players like Tristin McCollum and Avonte Maddox to fill the gap. The Eagles remain hopeful that Bradberry can return later in the season, but his absence is a significant setback.
