Auburn alumnus Arryn Siposs will handle the punting for the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday after coming off injured reserve on Saturday.

Siposs has not played since Dec. 11, when he sustained an ankle injury during a game against the New York Giants. Brett Kern had done Philadelphia’s punting since Siposs got hurt.

The Eagles entered Super Bowl Sunday with both punters on their active roster. But Philadelphia designated Kern as one of its seven game-day inactives for Super Bowl LVII 90 minutes before kickoff.
