The Eagles placed VanSumeren (knee) on injured reserve Saturday. VanSumeren likely injured his knee during practice this week after popping up on Friday's injury report as a limited practice participant. The injury is severe enough to warrant a stint on injured reserve, which means VanSumeren will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 17 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Dec. 29 the earliest he can return.

The Eagles placed VanSumeren (knee) on injured reserve Saturday. VanSumeren likely injured his knee during practice this week after popping up on Friday's injury report as a limited practice participant. The injury is severe enough to warrant a stint on injured reserve, which means VanSumeren will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 17 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Dec. 29 the earliest he can return.
VanSumeren (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Baltimore. VanSumeren popped up on Friday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a knee injury, and it appears severe enough that he won't play Sunday. His next chance to play will be Week 14 against Carolina on Sunday, Dec. 8.
VanSumeren (concussion) has been cleared to play in Sunday's Week 10 battle against Dallas, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports. VanSumeren suffered a concussion in the first half of last Sunday's tilt against the Jaguars and didn't return to the game. However, he's been able to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol and will be able to suit up Sunday. VanSumeren has played exclusively on special teams this season and will likely continue in that role against the Cowboys.
VanSumeren (concussion) has been downgraded to out Sunday versus the Jaguars. VanSumeren suffered a concussion in the first half and his night is now done. The linebacker will now shift his focus to being ready to go for Week 10 versus the Cowboys.
VanSumeren (head) is being evaluated for a concussion Sunday versus the Jaguars. VanSumeren went down with a head injury in the first half and it's unclear if he'll be able to return. In the meantime, the linebacker's absence doesn't carry much of a defensive impact.
