The odds of that happening are about as high as MDS being able to grow facial hair.

Is he hurt or is he injured?

Eagles' Herremans to miss start of season

Now the Eagles know their projected starting offensive line won't be ready for the start of the season.

Coach Andy Reid revealed after last night's game against Jacksonville that left guard Todd Herremans will undergo surgery today to repair a stress fracture in his left foot.

The Eagles initially thought that the fifth-year offensive lineman had nothing more than a stress reaction and would be ready for the Sept. 13 opener against Carolina, but a magnetic resonance imaging test this week revealed the fractures.

"He'll miss a couple games here," Reid said. "We'll see how the surgery goes."

Nick Cole, who started the final four regular-season games and all three playoff games last season at right guard, will replace Herremans in the starting lineup.

"It's a setback," said Eagles offensive tackle Winston Justice, who has been filling in for ailing right tackle Shawn Andrews. "He's one of the leaders on the line. He's going to be missed."

Andrews, who has a sore back, might practice Saturday, Reid said.

Lol at Andrews "might" being back Saturday. Bitchmade.

I don't even worry about Herremans being out. Nick Cole is more than adequate as a fill in.

But the problem is 4/5 of these tools have been sitting in the hot tub since camp opened.

He's getting it repaired. Its not going to be a season long problem.

i hope hes fine and he may be but a stress fracture on the wheel of a 350 lb man tends to linger/reinjure

Maybe human bodies weren't designed to be that heavy and violently collide with each other, but I'll be damned if it doesn't make for entertaining theater.

I love when coaches say a couple of games with fractures. this is not TO we're talking about whos a freak and light on his feet.

at least 4 weeks minimum for the bone to heal mixed in with rehab...id say hes gone for more than a couple games.

Drunkmasterflex · August 29, 2009, 02:32:39 PM

A stress fracture is completely different from what TO had.

LOL...exactly.

reese125 · August 29, 2009, 03:57:36 PM

I wasnt comparing injuries apples to apples-- my point being that the guy has a fractured bone and is 150lb's or whatever heavier than TO.

Jeff McLane, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid said during a radio interview that LB Omar Gaither (ankle) sprained his ankle during practice Monday, Aug. 31

So how many days do the Eagles have to wait after publicly demoting Mays before they start talking about how awesome he is again?

PhillyPhreak54 · September 09, 2009, 04:07:56 PM

QuoteReid hinted left guard Todd Herremans might miss more than the first two weeks. Herremans had surgery for a stress fracture. Nick Cole and Max Jean-Gilles will share time at that spot, with Cole starting.

This I don't mind as much...I think those two can handle it. Although it'd be smart to not rotate guys in.
