Looks like we now have a need at backup safety and at KR.

Wow...that sounds pretty serious. Damn shame-- he brought a certain electricity to the field. Hope he makes it back.

oh for fargs sake.

I think Rod Hood takes over the return role easily, but a backup safety is needed no doubt.

there is a "nasty" line in the PE.com message that makes me VERY nervous about this: "I'm in the process of trying to get my leg working again."

S--- happens, but why does it happen to the Eagles so often!

They could also, I guess, slide Ware to Safety on the depth chart and get yet another CB.

Sounds like he got an infection...the surgery took place over a week ago; the injury occured a week before the surgery.

Get well soon JR.

Please read.

The surgery was "exploratory", meaning they just wanted to figure out exactly what was wrong. They found that he damaged an important nerve in the leg.

Has nothing to do with any "infection".

WTF?!? Bizarre.

rjs246 · March 10, 2005, 12:17:44 PM

That blows.

One of the best young role-players on the team.

Thats messed up, I like Reed, he was a good player. I really liked him on kick returns.

Hey, I'm just speculating.

Don't you find it rather odd that they kept this news quiet for -- what is it -- 10 days?

PhillyGirl · March 10, 2005, 12:21:15 PM

So because they kept it quiet you come to the conclusion he had an infection?

QB Eagles · March 10, 2005, 12:22:48 PM

Why the hell was he jumping over a fence?

My thoughts exactly, if he can fill that role.
