Injury Update

Yeah, Davis walked off...Ritchie did too.  I'm sure the Eagles will be giving Ritchie a call in 3 years to be our starting RB.

Didnt he walk off by himself though? I dont think he had a bunch of trainers or stuff come out, he just limped off the field. Pretty manly.

happens all the time with a torn knee ligament

Pinkston looks good in practice

Eagles wide receiver Todd Pinkston, who has seen limited participation in practice due to having two sore Achilles, had his most extensive time during today's workout at the Nova Care Complex.

Pinkston missed last year with a ruptured Achilles tendon in his right foot. Last week, coach Andy Reid suggested that he was hoping that Pinkston would be further along in recovery. Pinkston has yet to take part in contact.

Today, he admitted that he picked up the pace. In fact practice ended when Pinkston caught a 40-yard TD bomb from Donovan McNabb.

"I did a lot more work today," Pinkston said after the afternoon practice. "I felt a lot better. I'm coming out here knocking the rust off, getting back in the flow of things."

The Eagles have to know the status of Pinkston for the season before determining whether to make a trade for another receiver.

Actually there are many who feel they could use another receiver even if Pinkston returns, but that's another story.

As for Pinkston, he appeared to be tentative, something he didn't deny.

"Come on man. I was injured," Pinkston said. "I won't be 100 percent the first day coming and working out. I am trying to work myself back and pacing myself to do what I can do."

One player who was feeling good after practice was running back Correll Buckhalter, who missed the last two seasons with a torn right patellar tendon. Buckhalter saw his first action in two years during Thursday's 20-10 loss at Baltimore against the Ravens. He gained 8 yards on five carries and had a 48-yard reception.

He said he felt good the day after the game and was moving around freely during today's practice.

"I really didn't get sore at all," Buckhalter said. "My shoulder and neck were more sore than anything."

A player who wasn't as fortunate was rookie fullback Jason Davis, who tore his ACL against the Ravens. Reid said that Davis would have surgery most likely sometime next week.

The status of rookie linebacker Chris Gocong remains uncertain. Gocong has been out for most of the preseason with a stinger.

"We're concerned," Reid said. "We're having him tested right now to see exactly where he is at with that. He's been about to go out there, but hasn't been able to do contact."

this is really sad, your telling me the Simenou is going to be Dhani's backup this season? Shockey and Whitten will eat them alive.

looks like gocong should have held out

you know better than Jim Johnson.

Thank god. I have been practically beside myself without PG around to defend the massive holes in this team.

actually jim johnson doesnt have a choice in the matter...so what he knows or doesnt know is irrelevant...if the front office refuses to address the position then johnson gets what he gets and trys to make it work

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Dhani doesn't need a backup.  He's the one guy that unfortunately never gets injured.

[vicsportsaddict]

Nothing too serious. The only questionable thing on there is the back injury to Richmond. Greg missed all of last year with a herniated disk in his back that needed surgery. So if it is anything connected with that it opens up the door for Dedrick Roper to get some snaps and possibly for Tank Daniels to get some more PT

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Westbrook, McDougle, Walker all back at practice

Westbrook, McDougle, Walker all back at practice

wow, that is fanfriggintastic news. 

[General_Failure]

Look for five snaps between the three of them for the final preseason game.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The bad news is that McDougle kicked Walker in the thigh, then Walker shot him in the spleen.  Westbrook avoided the whole situation with a fancy juke move but re-injured his ankle/foot.

[General_Failure]

Boo.
