Doesn’t have anything to do with the concussion he failed to report a few weeks back.

This is a herniated disc that was resulting in “back discomfort” on Sunday:

Grugier-Hill only played five snaps against Washington, with T.J. Edwards and Duke Riley ahead of him. Doug Pederson and Jim Schwartz told the media that was because of the Redskins’ offensive personnel and scheme, which we now know to be poppycock, as Joe Biden would say.

With Kamu on IR now, the Eagles’ will lean on Nigel Bradham and Nate Gerry in nickel, while Edwards is the third guy on the depth chart and would theoretically be the dude on the field in their 4-3 base. If you’re keeping track, this means Grugier-Hill, Zach Brown, and L.J. Fort are all out of the picture as we head into game number fifteen against the Cowboys. Weird year at linebacker for the Birds.
