The Eagles have ruled tight end Zach Ertz and cornerback Leodis McKelvin out of Monday night’s game at Chicago due to injury.

Earlier in the week, Eagles coach Doug Pederson described Ertz’s injury as a displaced rib and said he would be “week-to-week” in regards to a potential return. McKelvin suffered a hamstring injury in last week’s win over the Browns.

McKelvin’s injury leaves the Eagles with just three healthy cornerbacks, so they’re likely to make a roster move. Ron Brooks and Jalen Mills figure to see increased reps in Monday night’s game.

Brent Celek figures to start at tight end in place of Ertz.
