Richard Rodgers seemingly can’t stay healthy for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Rodgers, who had just returned from a foot injury Sunday that had kept him out a couple of weeks, was carted off the during the Eagles and Baltimore Ravens’ joint practice on Monday with a lower-body injury.

Rodgers missed the first 10 weeks of the 2018 season with a knee injury. The former Green Bay Packers tight end had never missed a game in his six-year career prior to 2018. With Rodgers now injured, that paves the way for Joshua Perkins to make the 53-man roster as the third tight end behind Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert.
