Ok, Injuries...

[Diomedes]

that would be one hell of an injury report

[General_Failure]

Yes, but there'd be no one left to read it. Or write it, I guess.

Howie Roseman will last forever!

Defensive end Chris Clemons is day-to-day with a calf strain, which Reid said is a setback to Clemons' learning curve. The former Oakland Raider signed in March and is trying to learn a new system.

"He can use every rep he can get," Reid said. "Obviously, when you're new in a system, you make sure that you practice. He can use the reps, but again, I want to make sure that he's healthy before he goes out there."

Clemons has been a disappointment so far.

Injuries suck. It's good to have a thread to talk about them in, imo. I wonder if Browns injury makes diff as to wether they cut HB or not.

I talked to coach Reid about it. He said he was going to wait and see as the situation develops. Plus, I don't think it makes too much of a difference since I'm not on the team, but thanks for your concern.

A thread to list the injuries sucks/

Why is that?

I was mostly referring to the original useless responses, not the thread itself. Yes I understand the irony of adding a useless response to mock the useless responses...

pointing this out is useless

*Actual Injury Comment

Why the farg do we have similar repeat injuries types w/our players? WTF is the training staff doing? Lis-Franc nabbed a couple guys(Not a overly common injury) Sports hernia is the new Lis-Franc. Name another team that has had 3 players with sports hernia requiring surgery...

Injury Update: Dawkins Has Ankle Strain

FOXBOROUGH, MA -- Free safety Brian Dawkins left Friday night's game with what head coach Andy Reid described as an "ankle strain," an injury that will be updated once Dawkins has an MRI on Saturday.

Reid will provide an update on Sunday when the team returns to practice at the NovaCare Complex.

When asked after the 27-17 win over New England if he had an idea of the severity of the injury, Reid said, "I don't. We X-rayed it and there wasn't a break there, so we'll see what the MRI says."

Dawkins left the game in the first quarter after he was involved in a tangle down the field. He left the field, was examined by head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder and then was taken to the locker room on a cart.

His injury was the most notable of the night. Center Jamaal Jackson suffered a concussion and left the game in the first half.

Wide receiver Kevin Curtis underwent surgery to repair a sports hernia on Thursday, and Reid provided an update after Friday's game.

"I can't give you a time on that (Curtis' return) . I don't know that. When I do, I'll tell you," said Reid. "It wasn't the worst one we've seen and it wasn't the simplest one we've seen. They felt like they went in and did a pretty good job with it, so we'll see how he does here. These next couple of weeks will be pretty important and we might have a better idea after a few weeks here."

Unlike other teams in the league, the Eagles may actually be getting healthier. Reid said that receiver Reggie Brown was feeling better on Monday and may practice Thursday. If Brown's ready, Reid said he may start against Dallas.

"Reggie actually feels pretty good today," Reid said. "He's going to continue to rehab. We'll see where he is once we resume. The players will be in today, then they're off Tuesday and Wednesday and then back on Thursday. We'll see how he does for Thursday. If he can get a little work in, then we'll do that. If not, we'll just play it day-by-day there. It just depends on if he's in a full-time role or a part-time role. We'll see."

He also mentioned that receiver Kevin Curtis is progressing nicely as he recovers from sports hernia surgery, which is good news for the Eagles. Reid is hoping that Curtis could return before the bye week in mid-October.

"He's not going to play this week," Reid said. "But he is doing very well. The month-and-a-half (left on Curtis' injury timetable) takes you to the bye week, so hopefully we can get him back sooner."

[Rome]

Yeah, I'll bet he's feeling healthy alright.  It might be the first time in history a person's "injury" was cured by watching television for three hours.
