Eagles superfan Dunphy just revealed he sustained some rough injuries during his chest bump encounter with Jason Kelce earlier this month … but, thankfully, he says he will not require surgery.
The diehard Philadelphia supporter — who’s gained fame over the years for his incredible array of Philly-themed stomach tattoos — told No Shorts Media on Wednesday that test results showed he banged up his leg badly after he celebrated with Kelce at a pre-“Monday Night Football” celebration on Sept. 16.

He stated he was diagnosed with a “severe bone contusion” as well as several sprained ligaments … but in a subsequent post on his Instagram page, he said all that would be required to heal is simply rest.
Dunphy told the outlet he’s still sporting a limp nonetheless … but he is improving daily.
As for his feelings toward Kelce on the matter … he said he holds no ill will whatsoever — and, in fact, he actually praised the ex-Eagles center for checking in on him and paying the bill for his MRI.
Dunphy will have some time before there’s another tailgate at Lincoln Financial Field — the Eagles don’t play at home again ’til Oct. 13 — but regardless, he might want to refrain from overzealous celebrations from here until the 2025 season at least.
