During Sunday's practice, Reagor was forced to make an early exit due to sustaining an apparent shoulder injury. The injury reportedly happened when Reagor was attempting to make a tackle on an interception.
At the least, the Eagles don't believe it is a serious injury for the first-year wideout. Still, the team is taking a cautious approach and having him undergo an MRI.
Back in April, the Eagles selected Reagor with the No. 21 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of TCU. Instead of trying to move up to select CeeDee Lamb or select Justin Jefferson, Philadelphia felt comfortable taking Reagor. Therefore, there are sky-high expectations for Reagor in 2020.
After having a bevy of injuries at the wide receiver position in 2019, the Eagles are hoping to have a healthier campaign in 2020. At one point last season, Philadelphia was fielding a wide receiver group of Greg Ward, JJ Arcega-Whiteside, and Mack Hollins.
Entering his rookie season, Reagor is expected to be the team's No. 1 option at wide receiver. The speedy wideout can give Philadelphia's offense someone that can stretch the field and create with the ball in his hands.
Besides Reagor, Carson Wentz is also dealing with an injury for the Eagles and didn't practice on Sunday. Despite the long list of injuries the team has suffered already, they are optimistic that Wentz and Reagor are going to be one-hundred percent in Week 1.
