Apparently Sheldon Brown strained his back today.

I read it was a 'sprain' on PE.com. I hope its a strain.

The official report says sprain.

QuoteEagles Notes | McDougle leaves with rib injury

Eagles Notes

BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Defensive end Jerome McDougle left the field with an injury to the right side of his ribs for the second straight day.

He suffered the injury during Saturday's practice and tried to return yesterday but was carted off early in the workout. Players are not allowed to comment on injuries, but McDougle was in obvious pain as he left the field house.

Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson is hopeful that McDougle can recover to play in Thursday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens because he feels the defensive end needs the playing time after missing all of last season while recovering from a gunshot wound to the stomach.

McDougle had a sack in the Eagles' 20-7 win over the Cleveland Browns last week and was understandably excited about his progress.

"The thing about Jerome is he played a little better last week than he did the week before," Johnson said. "Hopefully, he will be playing again Thursday because he does need that game experience. I think the first game, he was kind of tentative, and then the last game, he kind of let it go a little bit and played much better."

Another injury that appears to be serious involves linebacker Greg Richmond's back. Richmond, who missed last season after undergoing surgery to repair a herniated disk in his lower back, went down in the preseason opener against Oakland and has not returned to the field since. He had trouble just getting into his car yesterday.

"I know it's really bothering him," Johnson said.

Linebacker Chris Gocong also remains out of contact drills after suffering a stinger in practice a few weeks ago. That has left Dedrick Roper as the only other strong-side linebacker behind Dhani Jones.

"I think Dhani is doing a good job," Johnson said. "I like the way he is playing. He is playing well and he is playing smart."

Cornerback Sheldon Brown sat out with a lower-back strain. Guard Max Jean-Gilles left the morning practice with cramps but returned for the afternoon practice.

The last practice open to the public is Tuesday (tomorrow). The Wednesday practice is a closed walk-through in preparation for the Baltimore fake-game.

Buckhalter - practicing, looking good, and likely to suffer a career-ending injury in next pre-season game
Westbrook - seems like they are being super-careful with him so that he's 100% for the start of the season
Perry - he's toast - not going to make this team
Avant - probably the #4 receiver right now ahead of Greg Lewis - completely healthy
Pinkston - destined for the unemployment line or IR

Wouldn't that take unnecessarily long?

McDougle - BROKEN RIBS - out 3 weeks

Richmond - herniated disk - needs surgery likely done

That's a shame. I had high hopes for him.

Just kidding.

Thanks... I had read that Avant was moving up the depth chart but I thought at Jabar Gaffney was the FA at WR that was goint to supply that much need 3rd - possion - wide out?

Reid is claiming that Greg Lewis isn't getting the reps because he already knows exactly what Greg can do. However, it's getting to the point that it would seem if there are no roster changes, the following will make the team:

R. Brown
Baskett
Gaffney
McCants
Avant

(and the depth chart would be fairly similar to that)

If Reid keeps 6, Greg might get a reprieve, but it's more likely he'd just be making room for Bloom if he truly thinks he'll be able to contribute as a return man this year.
