The Eagles placed Okwuegbunam (abdomen) on injured reserve and designated him to return Tuesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Okwuegbunam underwent a core muscle repair procedure, and he is projected to be out for 6-to-8 weeks. With the Eagles scheduled to have their bye in Week 5, the 2020 fourth-round tight end could aim to return to action for Week 6 against the Browns on Oct. 13. McLane notes that Philadelphia has released E.J. Jenkins, meaning Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra are the only two active tight ends on the roster for the time being.
