Philadelphia Eagles fullback/linebacker Ben VanSumeren suffered a season-ending knee injury throughout the group's Friday practice, according to a report from the Inquirer's Jeff McLane.
This draws.
BVS, who initially signed with the Eagles as an undrafted novice complimentary representative in 2015, had actually taken a function as a lead blocker on offense in addition to supplying depth at linebacker and contributing on unique groups. All informed, he played 22 offending snaps, 213 unique groups snaps, and absolutely no protective snaps this season.
It stays to be seen if the Eagles have another gamer in mind for their fullback function or if they simply ditch it moving on. The guess here is the latter.
The BVS injury leaves the Eagles with less depth at pound. With Zach Baun and Nakobe Dean beginning, the only depth off-ball linebackers are Oren Burks and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. They likewise have Dallas Gant on the practice team.
If the Eagles wish to put BVS on hurt reserve to open a lineup area to fill prior to Sunday's video game versus the Baltimore Ravens, they have up until 4:00 PM Eastern on Saturday. Otherwise we'll see them make that maneuver next week.
Here's wanting BVS a rapid healing.
