Philadelphia Eagles punter Arryn Siposs is out indefinitely with a lower-leg injury sustained in Sunday’s win against the New York Giants.
ESPN and NFL Network reported Monday evening that the Eagles are signing three-time Pro Bowl punter Brett Kern.
Siposs was hit hard near the sideline after he scooped up a blocked punt near the goal line and attempted to run for the first down in the second quarter of the Eagles’ 48-22 victory.
Siposs went to the locker room on a cart and was replaced by kicker Jake Elliott, who punted once for 35 yards.
“We will have to bring somebody in,” coach Nick Sirianni said Monday. “Don’t really know how long it’s gonna be.”
Kern, 36, has played in 219 games with the Denver Broncos (2008-09) and Tennessee Titans (2009-21). The Titans released him on Aug. 29.
Siposs, 30, has averaged 45.6 yards and 39.6 net yards on 44 punts in 13 games during his second season with the Eagles. He played Australian rules football before moving to the U.S. to play college football at Auburn (2018-19).
