Eagles defensive end Robert Quinn will miss at least the next four games.

Quinn is going on injured reserve and will have arthroscopic surgery after suffering a knee injury in practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

By rule, that means Quinn has to sit out at least the next four weeks. But the report says the Eagles are still optimistic he can play in the playoffs.

The Eagles acquired the 32-year-old Quinn in October by trading a fourth-round draft pick to the Bears. So far he hasn’t had much of an impact in Philadelphia, playing only sparingly and not recording a single sack.

  1. One of those trades that made a ton of sense, just up until the point where it didn’t.

  2. If he makes it back for the playoffs and plays well there, the 4th round pick won’t be bad. He’s just weirdly up and down.

    The Bears had to move on because keeping an old valuable vet in their rebuild made little sense, not because he wasn’t valuable to them.

  3. Doesn’t matter much in the larger scheme of things. Back where they were before the trade with an option for using Quinn in the playoffs if he’s healthy.
