I think she just left KC and took a gig somewhere else too

[ice grillin you]

she went to nesn

JaCorey Shepherd signed to PS

Darrelle Greene waived

[QB Eagles]

On September 21, they signed Shepherd and released Green. On September 27, they reversed the move. Now, on October 3, they revert to the first move.

[Susquehanna Birder]

Reid used to do this, too. Gives the players something of an incentive to stick around.

i wouldnt go far if i was greene

im guessing this means they get one more game out of lane johnson and then next week when hes officially gone they will bring greene back again

[QB Eagles]

The appeal hearing for Johnson is today, so I think that takes effect this Sunday if he gets shot down as we all expect. So yeah, Green will be an Eagle again before gameday.

Edit: Looks like the suspension begins with the announcement, not the failed appeal, so it could be the following week.

Eagles RT Lane Johnson's appeal of a 10-game suspension for violating the PED policy will be heard Tuesday morning.
An announcement is not expected until next week, meaning Johnson should be able to play at least one more game even if the suspension is upheld. Allen Barbre will switch from left guard to right tackle if (once) Johnson is officially suspended.

[ice grillin you]

yeah i was just about to say it normally takes about a week to 10 days for a decision to come down

[Zanshin]

I've been following this tangentially, because it just seems to be dragging on. Wonder if he'll catch a reduction, or whether it'll just be the 10 and tell him to hit the bricks.

[ice grillin you]

from what ive read to get a reduction you have to have proof that someone tricked you or purposely lied to you about what was in the pills and from everything thats come out thus far on how it happened it appears as tho that is not his defense....i think his defense is basically claiming ignorance

[Eagles_Legendz]

I'd expect the 10 games to be upheld but I'd think the best argument for a reduction is that what he got clipped for originally is no longer a violation, so maybe making an argument to treat this as a first offense.

[MDS]

if it doesnt go well today they just need to take the 10 now

if lane comes back in 10 from sunday, his first game is thursday giants jawn, which is a silly game to come back for on a short week with zero practice time.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Agreed.

A reduction is highly unlikely. Take the L and get ready for the end of the season if there is a playoff push.
