Eagles wide receiver Reggie Brown may miss the team's season opening game against the Rams with a hamstring injury, according to the Delaware News Journal.
Our View:Brown thinks he will be okay to go, but hamstrings are tricky injuries that take time to heal, especially with as much running as wide outs do. Brown is a quality depth player in fantasy leagues, and has the ability to be at least a No. 2 receiver if he is healthy.
Jack Ikegwuonu has been placed on season-ending IR, according to ESPN. The fourth-round rookie sustained a knee injury while working out for the NFL draft.
Our View:He would have been a first-round pick if not for the untimely injury, and could push for a starting job in the future if he comes back strong and healthy.
The Eagles have indicated that Dan Klecko will make the final roster, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He will serve as the No. 4 defensive tackle and D.C. Jim Johnson said, "He looks pretty good to me. He had a good game the other night, and he's had a great camp. He's got such great quickness and good football sense, and he loves to play. He's a high-motor guy."
Our View:Klecko will hold no fantasy value as a defensive tackle, but could sneak in a touchdown or two if given some reps at fullback.
