Philadelphia, PA (My Sportsbook) - The Philadelphia Eagles placed cornerback and kick returner Ellis Hobbs on injured reserve Wednesday with a neck injury. Hobbs suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to Dallas, and will have surgery. In eight games this season, the fifth-year pro has recorded 11 tackles and averaged 24.1 yards on 20 kick returns. He is in his first year with the Eagles after spending his first four with the Patriots. Hobbs' moving to the IR comes on the same day the Eagles lost cornerback Joselio Hanson to a four-game suspension for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances. In addition, the Eagles made a number of moves Wednesday, including signing cornerback to Ramzee Robinson and promoting cornerback Jack Ikegwuonu to the 53-man roster. They also signed cornerback Stoney Woodson to the practice squad. |
