How Serious Is Jalen Reagor’s Shoulder Injury?

Jeffrey E. Budoff, MD September 1, 2020

Jalen Reagor, Philadelphia’s star rookie wide receiver, dislocated his shoulder at practice reaching out to tackle a defender who was returning an interception (why are offensive players tackling during turnovers in practice?).
