Injury Update

[hunt]

the secondary just isn't very good...they rely on the d-line pressuring the qb to bail them out.  now the d-line is weakened with kearse's injury & the secondary is made even worse with hood's injury.
teams will throw all over the eagles.

And when the defense is forced to stay on the field for nearly the entire 4th quarter in the hot sun, they can only do so much for so long.

Injury Update from AR press conference:

Jevon has a "severe knee injury" and is still being evaluated.  Doesn't look good.
Shawn Andrews will have an MRI on his shoulder.
Bartrum has a *slight* knee sprain.
Hood has a "heel strain".
L.J. has an AC strain.
Westbrook still has some knee swelling.

a heel strain doesn't sound as bad as a hell strain...so that's good news.

Did Andy actually say "It doesn't look good"?

No, but he certainly made it sound like they're re-evaluating to see whether or not he goes on IR.

does jevon kearse ever play another down for the eagles?

does jevon kearse ever play another down for the eagles?

Nope, in fact, I'd be surprised if he ever walks again. Amputation might be the only option.

True.  And they'd probably chop off both legs just to be sure to get rid of all the overratedness.

does jevon kearse ever play another down for the eagles?

Yes.  They'll ask him to take a modest pay cut to stay with the team in 2007, and he'll agree.  They love reclamation projects and guys coming off a serious injury.

However, he won't start.  Trent Cole and his 15+ sacks (and 10+ 15-yard penalties) will start.

A caller on Eagles LIVE asked Spadaro about the CB situation and he said that it sounds like Hood will play and Lito is getting closer.

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

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

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.
