Eagles exploring alternatives after LT Jordan Mailata's injury

The Philadelphia Eagles anticipate being without their left tackle, Jordan Mailata, for their upcoming games, according to coach Nick Sirianni.

During the Eagles' 20-16 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Mailata was taken to the locker room in the fourth quarter after injuring his left hamstring. The 6-foot-8, 365-pound veteran was immediately ruled out of the game and was seen using crutches after the match.

Sirianni stated on Monday, \"It appears that Jordan will be sidelined for a few weeks. We'll have to wait and see exactly how long that will be. Jordan was giving his all to make a play, and unfortunately, he got injured.\"

When asked if moving Mekhi Becton from guard to tackle is a possibility for the Eagles (3-2) in their game against the New York Giants (2-4) in East Rutherford, N.J. on Sunday, Sirianni replied, \"Everything is on the table.\"

\"We have the ability to do different things because of the roster that general manager Howie Roseman and his staff have built, and the flexibility that Coach Jeff Stoutland has instilled in the players to be able to play multiple positions. So we have some options. It's still early in the process, and we'll figure it out as the week goes on.\"

In Mailata's absence, Fred Johnson played the final 13 offensive snaps.

Since being drafted by the Eagles in the seventh round of the 2018 draft, Mailata, 27, has started all five games this season and 62 of his 67 career games.
