Another Ingram setback

Cornelius Ingram, a talented second-year tight end who was out all of last year because of torn anterior cruciate ligaments, has a "significant Baker's cyst" on the back of his left knee and calf, and will not travel to Kansas City, the Eagles said Thursday. Ingram also was out his last season at Florida with the same injury.

Ingram, who never seemed to regain his explosiveness this training camp, had been slowed in recent days and had an MRI exam on Wednesday.

He had the cyst drained at the Rothman Institute in Philadelphia on Thursday.

According to the Mayo Clinic's website, a Baker's cyst is "usually the result of a problem with your knee joint, such as arthritis or a cartilage tear."

Fourth-round draft pick Clay Harbor had already taken over the second tight end role in practices. Ingram may be headed to injured reserve for another season or could be cut.

That Harbor pick is looking like a very smart move on their part. Sucks that we never got to see what Ingram could have been.

harbor will be a smart move if hes good

i dont think it takes a brain surgeon to take a te in the mid rounds of a draft as insurance for a guy who might never play again

and even with harbor they will bring in a veteran

It's like they took the dent out of his chest and put it in his knee.

Florio reporting he'll be IR'd.

QB Eagles · August 27, 2010, 08:10:57 PM

IRed for life.

Trent Cole will have a MRI on his ankle. And we pray...

Seabiscuit36 · August 28, 2010, 08:18:16 AM

High ankle sprain is my guess. Pimp looked like he got knocked out, but they said back injury

PoopyfaceMcGee · August 28, 2010, 10:17:51 AM

So Cole will not be 100% to start the season. Not good.

Rome · August 28, 2010, 12:23:27 PM

Good thing they have so many fastballs to throw at the opposition.

Diomedes · August 28, 2010, 12:28:06 PM

No one ever hits a fastball.

PhillyPhanInDC · August 28, 2010, 12:45:09 PM

They do have Tapp. I'd say they are better prepared for an injury to Cole or at DE in general that at any point in recent years. Tapp's not light's out, but he's pretty solid.

PoopyfaceMcGee · August 28, 2010, 05:22:02 PM

Killa Cole's ankle has no structural damage. Mild sprain, should be ready for week 1.
