Eagles TE Ingram out after knee procedure

After going in for an MRI yesterday, you had to figure there would be some bad news about tight end Cornelius Ingram today. It looks like Ingram, who has missed the last two seasons due to multiple knee injuries, will be sidelined once again, this time due to a cyst on his left knee that needed to be drained. The cyst is being called a "Baker's cyst", which is a build-up of excess joint fluid that accumulates due to swelling.

There is no word yet on how long Ingram will be out but he is not going to travel with the team to Kansas City. I wouldn't count on Ingram playing any time soon for the Eagles; it's looking pretty likely that he will be spending another year on Injured Reserve.

What this means for the Eagles at tight end is not clear. Will the Birds choose to go with only Brent Celek and Clay Harbor or will they try to sign a veteran blocking tight end? While there aren't a lot of options out there right now, perhaps a tight end will shake loose when teams begin to make cuts.
