Jason Kelce needs hernia surgery

Recommended Posts

Per Rotoworld.com:

Eagles C Jason Kelce needs surgery to repair a sports hernia.
It's the latest blow to a mangled Eagles offensive line. Kelce will reportedly be out 6-8 weeks, leaving David Molk to step in at center. This is a unit that was already without RT Lane Johnson (4-game suspension), RT Allen Barbre (ankle) and stud LG Evan Mathis (knee). An offensive line that was nothing short of dominant last season is now playing at a bottom-five level. Sep 22 - 11:41 AM

Not good. So we'll be without three starters against San Fran (provided Peters doesn't get suspended), then Johnson comes back from suspension and we're two starters down for about 5-8 weeks. This is gonna be a rough stretch that will challenge Chip Kelly's creativity on offense.

 

Oh, and fantasy owners, now is a great time to trade LeSean McCoy if someone is willing to pay for him.

Per Rotoworld.com:

 

Eagles C Jason Kelce (sports hernia surgery) is expected to return in Week 10.
Kelce has "progressed well" from surgery and could end up missing only five games. His return will be a major upgrade for an offensive line that's struggled to run block. The Eagles will also get RT Lane Johnson (four-game suspension) back this week. Oct 1 - 2:32 PM

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, it's "pretty much a certainty" that C Jason Kelce (sports-hernia surgery) returns for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Speaking Tuesday, Kelce called himself a game-time decision, but he's been running with the first-team offense in this week's practices. Barring a setback, he should be active for the first time since Week 3. It's excellent timing with RG Todd Herremans battling a biceps injury.
