Matt Mosley of ESPN.com has confirmed that the Eagles have indeed brought in former Cowboys' defensive coordinator Brian Stewart in an "undetermined role."

As of now, his role with the team is undefined, but this could mean that Jim Johnson's chemotherapy and attempt to beat his cancer is not going so well.

The Eagles do not have an opening for a coach on their staff, which makes this move all the more puzzling and frightening.

If the Eagles do not believe that Johnson's recovery is going so well and that he will be out for an extended period of time, they may be bringing in Stewart to help McDermott in his transition into becoming the defensive coordinator for longer than first thought.

If Johnson's health has taken a turn for the worse, or perhaps has just not shown improvement, the defense could be in for a drastic change. Or, perhaps not.

The point is, no one knows how McDermott will react or run this defense. If Johnson is not on the sidelines, or at least in the coaches' box, the defense all of a sudden becomes a huge question mark.

All serious part of this story aside, that kind of reporting is reported.

[General_Failure]

I know, right? They might do something stupid like get linebackers.

[BigEd76]

Eskin says JJ is doing bad right now and there's almost 0% chance he'll be around the team this fall...

[General_Failure]

I guess they'll be wearing commemorative patches this season.

I smell a "Win one for the Gipper" speech in there somewhere.
