Joselio Hanson rejoins Eagles

by JasonB on Dec 10, 2009 8:00 AM EST in Philadelphia Eagles News

A month ago Joselio Hanson was suspended for taking a banned over the counter diuretic.The four game suspension over and Hanson has rejoined the team and will be available this weekend against the Giants. Whether he'll play or not is still a question according to Reid.

"We haven't been able to do anything with him (for a month)," Eagles head coach Andy Reid said. "I just want to see where he's at. He's normally a hard worker, but he's been gone a month. I want to see what kind of shape he's in. I would hope that he'd be able to get back in there and go, but I'll have to see."

Assuming Hanson is in shape, his presence certainly won't hurt. Dimitri Patterson and Macho Harris didn't do a bad job in his absence, but another veteran back there is always helpful.

I'm glad he's back

But I see no reason why he shouldn’t be “able” to play. He was off for a month and its not like he was injuried and couldn’t work-out. He better of been working his ass off in those four weeks so he can help us out in these next couple games!

If he’s on the sideline he is of no use, but if he is on the field, it does not mean he will cover well after his little reprieve. It is not always easy to get back into the swing of things.

I think he'll play

He sounds like the type of guy who kept up with his work outs even though he was banned from the team facility.

We’ve done okay without, but he is going to help out defense tremendously.

it’s a shame that hanson got suspended for 4 games yet kevin and pat williams are still playing with their suspensions in lingo. just because they are two of the best at their positions in this league, it shouldn’t warrant them more leeway than others.

Yeah, that’s some serious BS right there. And then there were the Saints players who tested positive for the same thing, but weren’t suspended b/c the league couldn’t suspend the Williamses.
