The Philadelphia Eagles’ recent string of injuries continued on Tuesday with news that DE Robert Quinn is heading to Injured Reserve.

Quinn, who the Eagles acquired in a trade with the Chicago Bears, is expected to undergo arthroscopic surgery to his knee this week, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

#Eagles DE Robert Quinn is having a knee scope this week and will go IR today, per sources.

Quinn had been coming on and settling into the scheme before the knee got twisted in practice last week. Now out at least 4 games, but there’s optimism he’s back for the playoff push. pic.twitter.com/GPRZvRBCaK

Since joining the Eagles, Quinn has spent his time adjusting to defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon’s scheme. The move was ultimately made in hopes to add a situational pass rusher to create havoc on opposing quarterbacks in the postseason.

While it remains to be seen exactly when Quinn will make his return, he is eligible to be activated from IR for the team’s Week 18 matchup with the New York Giants.

Adding CJGJ to this list of when Eagles are eligible to return off IR:

Avonte Maddox: Week 14 at Giants
Dallas Goedert: Week 15 at Bears
C.J. Gardner-Johnson: Week 17 vs. Saints
Robert Quinn: Week 18 vs. Giants

The Eagles likely won’t have much to play for in the regular season finale, almost guaranteeing Quinn's return likely won’t be until the NFL Playoffs.

It's a disappointing setback, but the three-time Pro Bowler still has an opportunity to make a lasting impact in Philadelphia.
