Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo tore his triceps in Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is likely headed to injured reserve, ESPN reported Monday.
Okoronkwo will reportedly undergo more testing to determine the severity of the injury, which apparently occurred in the second quarter of Philadelphia's 31-25 win over Tampa.
Sunday's win was the first game action Okoronkwo had seen since the veteran signed with the Eagles in late July after he was released by the Cleveland Browns with one year left on a three-year, $19 million contract.
Okoronkwo, 30, recorded 23 tackles and three sacks in 16 games (five starts) last season.
A Super Bowl champion with the Los Angeles Rams, Okoronkwo has totaled 132 tackles and 17 sacks in 80 career games (13 starts) with the Rams (2019-21), Houston Texans (2022) and Browns. He was selected by the Rams in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
The Eagles were already down an edge rusher, with Nolan Smith also on IR with a triceps injury. He is expected to be back sometime in November.
In the absence of Smith and Okoronkwo, Philadelphia will have to rely on Jalyx Hunt, Za'Darius Smith, Josh Uche, Patrick Johnson and Azeez Ojulari, an off-season acquisition who was a healthy scratch for the first four games of the season.
The Eagles host the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon.
