The Eagles have their new kicker.
They agreed to terms Tuesday with kicker Jake Elliott off the Bengals' practice squad and placed Caleb Sturgis (hip) on injured reserve.
Even though he's on IR, the Eagles can bring back Sturgis later in the season. Teams are allowed to bring back two players per season from IR after the player misses eight weeks. Sturgis would be available to return Nov. 19 at Dallas. He will be able to practice after six weeks. Sturgis hurt his hip early on Sunday but was able to finish the game.
After starting four years at Memphis, Elliott, 22, was a fifth-round pick by the Bengals in April. He graduated as the Tigers' all-time leading scorer with 445 points on 202 PATs and 81 field goals. Over his career, he went 81 for 104. That 77.9 percentage was the best ever at a school which also produced Patriots All-Pro kicker Stephen Gostkowski.
Sturgis, 28, is 56 for 66 in 30 career games with the Eagles. He went 3 for 3 in last Sunday's win but went 1 for 2 on extra points.
In Week 2, the Eagles head to Kansas City to face the Chiefs on Sunday at 1 p.m.
