Injury Update

PFT just as confused as everyone else

QuoteKEARSE REPORTS CONFUSING

Depending on what you read and/or hear, Eagles defensive end Jevon Kearse has multiple knee ligament sprains or tears.

The difference would appear to be significant. But what the hell do we know?

Sprained ligaments usually heal without surgical intervention. Torn ligaments (except for partial tears to the rope-like MCL) usually don't.

We can't recall ever hearing of a guy suffering sprained knee ligaments early in the season and being unable to return to the field. In 1995, Rod Woodson of the Steelers tore an ACL Week One and was back for the Super Bowl.

We're trying to track down more info on this one. Stay tuned

does mcdougal really count as "depth"?

General_Failure · September 19, 2006, 12:08:42 PM

No, but he's a warm body to put on the field while someone else takes a play or two off.

Updates:

Bartrum, Hood, Sheppard, L.J. Smith (did the walk-thru), Westbrook not practicing today.

Bartrum improving.
Westbrook not getting worse, but still a little sore... will be listed as QUESTIONABLE for Sunday.
Hood is DOUBTFUL for Sunday's game.
Sounds like L.J. will probably play.

what about Andrews

PoopyfaceMcGee · September 20, 2006, 11:50:04 AM

Andrews hasn't even been mentioned. I suppose that means he's practicing already.

A media member just asked about Lito (Andy doesn't have an update of note), but no one's mentioned Shawn.

you're useless.

Some people are saying that it's very likely that Westbrook won't play this week. Could be BS , but I hope he plays. We need to rebound with a big-time win.

hmm if he doesnt can we handle a much improved san fran team without westbrook, hood. and lito?

i say yes, but making it much tougher. bring in moats and i guess now is the time to blow out buck's knees and give westbrook a week off.

Tapeh, goddamnit! TAPEH!

The BIGSTUD · September 21, 2006, 11:42:27 PM

Westbrook has the bye week for that. Say this team goes into San Fran and is a little rusty afgter the emotional loss. Without Westbrook that is one less weapon to get us jump started.

General_Failure · September 21, 2006, 11:48:08 PM

It's not really going to matter if we get jumpstarted, as we will all be watching from our couches. Except for Sassy, who will be watching from hbionic's lap.

The power of ONE. We are all part of the Philadelphia Eagles. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
