Eagles tight end Jason Croom is believed to have suffered a season-ending knee injury (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). This was, unfortunately, expected after Croom was carted off during Thursday night’s preseason game against the Patriots. 
Croom will undergo an MRI to confirm his status, but non-contact knee injuries like this usually signal a torn ACL. If the scans prove the issue to be serious, the Eagles will place Croom on injured reserve between now and Monday morning.
Croom entered the league in 2017 as as an undrafted free agent with the Bills. After bouncing between the practice squad and active roster, the Tennessee got his chance to contribute in 2018. He ultimately led all Bills tight ends with 22 receptions, 259 yards, and one touchdown (he also had a pair of fumbles). Last year, he only registered one catch for the Eagles — a three-yard TD grab against the Ravens.
It’s not a given that Croom would have made the 53-man roster, but he was at least in the mix following the last round of cuts. The injury leaves the Eagles with five TEs on the roster — Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert, Richard Rodgers, Jack Stoll, and Tyree Jackson.
Not so much Tyree Jackson either. He got hurt not too long ago didn’t he?
Jackson is out 8-10 weeks minimum. Either out all year on IR, or on the 53 just long enough to go on in-season IR to come back later. Whichever, Ertz isn’t being traded unless they get a day 1 or 2 pick.
Maybe the Eagles should try to convert Mullens into a TE. He looks awful as a QB.
glad this team probably isnt winning anything this year anyway. need a better backup to do that.
He most likely wasn’t going to make the team anyway.
but I hope for a healthy recovery
Definitely wasn’t going to make the team, at least this allows him to work out/rehab at the facility and pull a paycheck.
