Injury Update

That's absolutely great news if Hood doesn't miss any time.

Agreed.  Very much agreed.  His injury is actually more significant than Kearse's to the team's play in upcoming weeks.

Yep...

the one that i took as troublesome was that Andrews wasn't a lock to play this week.

Agreed.  That worries me, because they've been able to hang their hat on his "road-grading".  Totally.

He's overrated.

[SunMo]

the line as a whole is overrated.  but i've heard enough people who watch tape and know better than you or me say that he's a special player, so i'll believe them.

Are you doubting the skills of Scott Young?

Just now, Eskin WIP..Kearse has torn 3 of 4 major ligaments in his knee.  All except ACL.  Gone for the year.  IMO the only good news is ACL tears are the most career ending and the hardest to come back from

[The BIGSTUD]

The site says Sprain which makes me think they are partial tears. They'd say rupture if they were complete tears. Good news for Kearse's future, but bad news obviously for this season.

Sucks.

Time for Juqua and Jerome to get it done.

YUP...Eagles web site says sprain.  Be sweet if surgery wasn't needed

[SD_Eagle5]

I'm thinking its a severe sprain/partial tear to the 3 ligaments which sucks but could be worse.

Didn't he give some bogus TO breaking news on his ankle back in 2004? Stop listening to him. Trust the actual injury status when the team releases it.

Counting Iverson and TO he's not unfamiliar to bogus info.

Ah, yes... let's argue the difference between a severe sprain and a tear and which ligaments are effed.

His knee his toast and his season is over.  Arguing the difference between Spadaro and Eskin is really worth it!


BTW, Reid did not absolutely rule out Lito for Sunday's game, either.  I assume he'll be listed as doubtful and probably won't play, but it is *somewhat* encouraging, I suppose, that he's making that kind of progress.

Absolutely... if we had to, I could actually deal with Lito and Hood being out 'til the Dallas game.  It'd be shaky as hell, but that's where we really need them to be on the field.
