Dallas

Reynolds

The Eagles have not ruled Kelce out for the season just yet. He plans to get a scope and see if his knee will be ready for action in 4-6 weeks. In the meantime, inexperienced Dallas Reynolds will be making the calls from the pivot spot.

Kelce was blocking Terrence Cody during the third quarter of Sunday’s win over the Ravens when Ed Reed ran into his right knee. If Kelce is indeed done, he’d join starting left tackle Jason Peters on injured reserve. Former practice squadder Dallas Reynolds will step in at center and represent a major downgrade. Sunday marked his first career NFL game.

The Eagles sustained a fistful of injuries Sunday, but they appear most concerned about Kelce’s. We can’t rule out a torn ligament. Backup Dallas Reynolds would be a major downgrade.

Reynolds has started nine games this season with Jason Kelce on injured reserve, but he was injured in Monday night’s game against the Panthers. Evan Mathis, the team’s left guard and arguably best healthy lineman, took the first-team reps at center on Wednesday. Danny Watkins, who started the first six games of the season at right guard, filled in at left guard. Philadelphia’s offensive line has been reduced to rubble.

A 2009 undrafted free agent, Reynolds appeared in all 16 games for the Eagles a season ago, making 14 starts. He was ineffective. The Giants are dealing with a number of injuries along their offensive line.

Reynolds provides insurance for struggling and injured starter David Bass (knee). Reynolds started 14 games for the Eagles last season, but graded out as one of the worst interior linemen in the league in Pro Football Focus’ ratings. He’s just a band aid to the Giants’ myriad problems along their offensive line.

Paysinger’s “right of first refusal” tender is worth $1.431 million. He played 707 snaps for New York last season and was arguably the second best linebacker on the roster. Reynolds’ ERFA tender is worth $570,000.

An undrafted free agent out of BYU, Reynolds will add depth up front with Jamaal Jackson (torn ACL) out for the season.

Reynolds, one of the worst interior linemen in the league while playing for the Eagles last year, spent a few days with the Giants earlier this season. Now he’s back as a backup thanks to David Baas’ season-ending knee injury.

Reynolds played just 32 snaps in 2014. With J.D. Walton likely to be cut, Weston Richburg figures to be the Giants’ starting center in 2015.
