Source: Eagles WR Reagor (thumb) going on IR

PHILADELPHIA — Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor will miss multiple weeks with a UCL tear in his thumb, sources told ESPN.

A source said Reagor is expected to undergo surgery and will be placed on injured reserve.

Reagor was injured on a play across the middle in the first half of Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He stayed in the game and finished with four catches for 41 yards.

There is a chance the Eagles could hold him out until after their Week 9 bye as a precaution. For context, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees missed five games with a similar injury last season.

Reagor has a recent track record of recovering quickly, however, returning from a slight shoulder tear in two weeks earlier this month in what was originally supposed to be a monthlong absence.

Reagor, the team’s first-round pick, has five catches on eight targets for 96 yards this season.

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and fellow rookie John Hightower will be called on to pick up the slack in Reagor’s absence. Alshon Jeffery (Lisfranc) is expected back at some point as well.

Morata returns to Juventus in deal potentially worth €55M

Alvaro Morata’s career has come full circle.

Morata, who scored 27 goals for Juventus from 2014 to 2016, rejoined the Bianconeri on loan from Atletico Madrid on Tuesday for an initial €10-million fee, the club announced.

Juventus have the option to sign the Spanish striker permanently for an additional €45 million.

If the reigning Serie A champions choose not to make the deal permanent by the end of the season, they can extend the loan for another €10 million. The buyout clause would then drop to €35 million.

Juventus turned to Morata after giving up on a deal for Roma’s Edin Dzeko. The Bosnian’s move to Turin was reportedly on standby because Roma had yet to complete a move for Napoli’s Arkadiusz Milik.

Morata began his career at Real Madrid but truly took off only upon joining Juventus in July 2014. He split time as a starter during his first two seasons in Italy and still managed to make an impact, scoring against Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, and Barcelona in the 2015-16 Champions League, as well as the winner in extra time of the 2016 Coppa Italia final versus AC Milan.

The 27-year-old’s performances convinced Madrid to buy him back in June 2016 for €30 million. Despite playing second fiddle to Karim Benzema, Morata found the net 15 times, winning La Liga with Los Blancos and finishing ahead of Neymar in league scoring.

Morata then joined Chelsea in July 2017, reuniting with former mentor and Juventus manager Antonio Conte for a reported club-record €66 million.

However, Morata struggled to adapt to the Premier League. He scored just 16 goals in 47 league appearances and left for Atletico in January 2019.

Atletico are reportedly poised to sign Luis Suarez as Morata’s replacement. The Uruguayan striker is expected to join Diego Simeone’s side after terminating his contract with Barcelona.

Source: Broncos to sign Bortles after Lock injury

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — With starting quarterback Drew Lock expected to miss three to five weeks with a shoulder injury, the Denver Broncos have agreed to terms with Blake Bortles on a one-year deal, a source told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler on Tuesday.

Bortles will start the mandated COVID-19 protocols, which will include multiple tests spread over four days.

Coach Vic Fangio on Monday said that the Broncos had brought in a quarterback and that the player wouldn’t be able to attend meetings or practice “until Friday or Saturday.”

Jeff Driskel will start Sunday’s home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Brett Rypien is expected to serve as backup after moving from the practice squad to the roster.

Moving forward, Bortles is expected to serve as Driskel’s backup.

Bortles, 28, was with the Los Angeles Rams last season and appeared in three games with two pass attempts. The No. 3 draft pick in 2014, Bortles spent his first five NFL seasons (2014 to 2018) with the Jacksonville Jaguars, playing in 75 games and throwing for 17,646 yards with 103 touchdowns and 75 interceptions.

The move comes as the Broncos deal with a cascade of injuries that included Lock and wide receiver Courtland Sutton in Sunday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Lock injured the rotator cuff of his throwing shoulder on a first-quarter sack by Bud Dupree, and an MRI confirmed Monday that the first-year starter would miss several weeks.

Sutton will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL.

Driskel played 64 of the offense’s 77 snaps in the game and finished with 18-of-34 passing for 256 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.

“I thought in light of the circumstances — coming in there cold, not getting many reps during the week — he doesn’t probably get as many [reps] as some of the backups around the league because Drew being such a young quarterback,” Fangio said. “Last week was a short week, so the reps were down a little bit in its entirety. I thought he did a good job.

“Yes, we’ll look moving forward to do what best suits Jeff. That’s something you always do when you have new players in there.”

Cardinals laud Murray's mobility through 2-0 start

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Arizona Cardinals second-year coach Kliff Kingsbury doesn’t enjoy watching his star quarterback, Kyler Murray, tuck the football and take off toward a hole in the offensive line, regardless if there are either swaths of grass or paydirt in front of him.

When Murray takes off, which has been happening more often in the first two games of this season than the first two of last season, Kingsbury is usually standing on the sideline muttering the same phrase over and over: “Get down.”

Sometimes Murray will — either on his own, with a picture-perfect baseball slide, or with the help of a defender seething to get their hands on the reigning rookie of the year.

Other times, Murray won’t, just weaving, cutting and juking his way to the end zone.

It’s not until the day after the game that Kingsbury will sit in his office at the Cardinals’ training facility in Tempe, turn on the film and soak in what unfolded in front of him the day before. Regardless of how many times Kingsbury has seen Murray take off and do his thing with his feet, he’s never surprised.

“I’ve watched that since he was 15 years old,” Kingsbury said. “He is one of the most dangerous people probably in the league when he’s in the open field like that, and he is as elusive as anybody, and that’s a weapon. He’s just got to be able to protect himself, which he does a good job of.”
