Eagles lose starting LT Jordan Mailata to injured reserve due to hamstring injury

The Philadelphia Eagles have officially placed starting left tackle on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. This expected move sidelines him for at least four games, marking his earliest return in Week 11 against the Washington Commanders on 'Thursday Night Football.'

His absence poses a challenge to one of the NFL's strongest offensive lines. The incident occurred during the Philadelphia game against the Cleveland Browns, where he was taken off the field in the fourth quarter. As a significant locker room leader, his replacement will be a notable adjustment for the team.

Now stepping into the role is his backup, who will replace him starting with the game against the New York Giants. The coaching staff has shown confidence in the backup's growth and readiness. During the game against the Browns, the backup admirably filled in for the injured player. He will now play alongside key figures on the line, undertaking a crucial role for the team's strategy.
