The Eagles have a position battle on their hands at kicker with Caleb Sturgis and Cody Parkey vying for the No. 1 spot. Prior to Thursday’s preseason game against the Steelers, one suffered an unfortunate injury that prevented him from helping his case.
During pregame warmups, Sturgis was hit in the head by a punt that resulted in the 27-year-old suffering a concussion. Philadelphia ruled Sturgis out for the game.
Caleb Sturgis is out of the game w/a concussion suffered when a punt hit him in warmups. Donnie Jones is tight w/Parkey, I"m just sayin"…

Last September, Parkey suffered a groin injury and was placed on injured reserve, bringing his season to an end. Sturgis took over for the final 13 games and converted 18-of-22 attempts, including a long of 53 yards against the Cowboys.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the only weird injury Sturgis has suffered during his pro career. Here you can see what happened during a team organized dodgeball event last June when Sturgis was a member of the Dolphins.
