Jason Kelce’s Season Is Over; Eagles Place Lineman On IR

Kelce was a terrific rookie in 2010, anchoring a veteran line and playing with strength and poise. With him back in the fold, Kelce should go a long way toward solidifying the interior of Philadelphia’s line.

The center position will be even more important in Kelly’s offense, which relies a ton on the quickness of its offensive lineman to pull and trap effectively.

This development creates an interesting situation for Kelce and the Eagles as the second-year center could potentially return this season depending upon how severe the partial tear of his ACL is. If he doesn’t need surgery, he will miss up to six weeks while waiting for the MCL to heal. If he requires surgery on the ACL, he will be done for the year.

With Kelce out of the lineup, the onus will fall on Dallas Reynolds. Reynolds, 28, has one year of experience in the NFL.
