Place-kicker Caleb Sturgis will sign with the Philadelphia Eagles, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, confirming multiple media reports.

The signing is pending a physical, the source said.

The Eagles were in need of kicking help after Cody Parkey injured his kicking leg before Sunday's 24-17 win over the New York Jets. Parkey was able to kick in the game, making a 30-yard field goal and all three extra-point attempts.

Sturgis, 26, was among several kickers who worked out for the Eagles on Monday.

He spent the past two years with the Miami Dolphins, making 55 of 71 field goal attempts (77.5 percent). Sturgis made both of his field goal attempts in the preseason, but the Dolphins elected to go with undrafted rookie Andrew Franks.

The Dolphins selected Sturgis in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL draft out of Florida.
