PHILADELPHIA (AP)—For the second consecutive week, the Eagles will go with a different look at linebacker because of a knee injury to weakside starter Akeem Jordan(notes).
Coach Andy Reid ruled out Jordan for Sunday night’s game at Chicago.
Will Witherspoon(notes) will again start at weakside LB, and second-year man Joe Mays(notes) will start in the middle. Chris Gocong(notes), who started in the middle in last week’s loss to San Diego, will move back to his customary spot on the strong side. Rookie Moise Fokou(notes), who started the past two games on the strong side, appears to be the odd man out.
It’s the sixth different set of linebackers the Eagles will start in their 10th game of the season.
So it looks like Joe Mays will get the nod, and Fokou will not be starting. I'm still scared about this unit because no matter which way you turn a shitty pie, its still a shitty pie. Be at that, an injured shitty pie.
