Bleeding Green Nation on Eli Stowers
From the article
TE Eli Stowers was placed on injured reserve... Stowers was limited in practice all week due to a hamstring injury... Stowers was downgraded to out on Saturday with the Eagles listing him with both hamstring and quadriceps injuries. The Eagles placing Stowers on IR means that the rookie tight end isn't eligible to return to the active roster until after Week 4.
STACKED’s take
Stowers placed on IR with hamstring and quad injuries; ineligible until after Week 4.
Rookie tight end placed on injured reserve with hamstring and quadriceps injuries; ineligible to return until after Week 4. Stowers was limited in practice all week with hamstring concerns, downgraded to out on Saturday with both injuries listed. The source notes the timing is curious given Stowers told reporters Friday he expected to play, but he was widely expected to be inactive as the fourth tight end on the depth chart anyway. Stowers struggled to make an impact in training camp and preseason and lacks special teams background (six total snaps over five college seasons), making the IR placement a way to avoid a healthy scratch despite being a second-round 2026 pick.
