PrintScary news from Eagles camp this morning as newly signed free agent DE Chris Clemons left Lehigh in an ambulance with dehydration symptoms. Philly.com reports that trainers had trouble bringing down his body temperature and he needed to be helped into the lockerroom. Andy Reid followed the ambulance to the hospital.
Obviously after the heat exhaustion death of the Viking's Korey Stringer teams are being very cautious with this type of stuff.
it's hot out there, and these guys are working hard.
[Note by JasonB, 07/29/08 1:50 PM EDT ] PFT is reporting that Clemons has been released from the hospital and is headed back to the team facility. Good news.
[Note by JasonB, 07/29/08 4:50 PM EDT ] Shock! PFT had poor information. According to PE.com Clemons has not been released from the hospital, but he is stable and is scheduled to be released at some point tonight.
The source whom we thought told us that Eagles defensive end Chris Clemons is out of the hospital now informs us that Clemons actually is still in the hospital.
We apologize for the error. (It’s not the source’s fault — we misunderstood what we’d been told. Again, we apologize for the error.)"
The best part is the first comment on the post...
Oh! You mistook “in” for “out”. Your 15 children must be very appreciative.
Classic.

late night?
maybe he just had a few too many cold ones last night?
McNabb thinks he's just not used to it...
“Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb theorized that Clemons, 26, a free agent signee from the Raiders, was unaccustomed to the brisk pace of Eagles workouts.“We’re kind of adjusted to it,” McNabb said at his scheduled news conference, minutes after Clemons was whisked away. “This is his first go-round.”
McNabb said he knew little about the situation, beyond the fact that when McNabb came in from the field, Clemons was “just sitting there, they were throwing some cold rags on him.”“
Is Eagles camp that much tougher than Oakland?
I would think the heat would be worse there
Although its probably the humidity that makes it so bad here
I understand the theory behind having camp at Lehigh, but the only thing that doesnt make sense to me is the heat… I guess there is no way around it, but other than the occasional game in Tampa (etc) they dont play a single game in temperatures anywhere close to PA in late July/Early August.
Concretefield can suck it

This is really random, but does anyone wish the we hadn’t cut TKO this year? I wish they’d have at least brought the guy to camp.
However, Reid and Co must like the LB core the way it is…
I still think we shoulda gave him one more shot at it. He still hasnt signed anywhere
