Best case scenario for Kiko and the Eagles. Alonso reportedly underwent arthroscopic surgery on his knee and could return by November, according to ESPN.
It was originally thought that Alonso had suffered a significant ACL tear, but further testing showed that was not the case.
The main reason he is expected to play again this season is that there is good stability in his left ACL, the source said.
Eagles coach Chip Kelly said Wednesday that Alonso was rehabbing the knee and that the team would see him Friday. Kelly has been asked a few times about the injury since Week 2, but only would say that Alonso had a sprain.
In Kiko’s absence, Jordan Hicks played well on Sunday. It’ll be interesting to see if Billy Davis moves to a more rotational cycle when Alonso comes back.
