Sturgis made all three of his field goal attempts on Sunday, but did miss an extra point.
The Eagles will reportedly workout free agent 35-year-old veteran kicker Mike Nugent and potentially Bengals practice squad kicker Jake Elliott.
Eagles will be working out kickers this week, Doug Pederson said. Mike Nugent is among those with experience. Expect him to get a look.
