DeSean Jackson is back practicing after he hyperextended his knee yesterday. The wide receiver sat out this morning's practice, but could have gone if weren't for the wet field conditions, coach Andy Reid said.

Leonard Weaver lamented aloud how he was "wide open" on a play and wasn’t seen. Linebacker Omar Gaither, the nearest defender to Weaver, quipped: "If he didn’t throw it to you, how is it you were open?"

McCoy eager for chance to shine against Patriots -- themorningcall.com
It's three days and counting before Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back LeSean McCoy gets to try to juke and elude New England Patriots defenders with the same effectiveness he's had against his teammates throughout training camp at Lehigh's Goodman Campus.
About that offensive line ... | Philadelphia Daily News | 08/09/2009
The Eagles spent $100 million on upgrades to the offensive line, but even Andy Reid conceded this morning that it is hard to know what they have until the group plays together at some point.
Runyan headed back to Eagles? - NFC East - ESPN
"I know where he's at," said Reid, who had a chance to speak to Runyan at Jim Johnson's memorial service Friday. "We have a pretty good idea of where he's at and we'll just see how things go. He's working hard at getting back and that's really what his primary focus should be, whether it's here or somewhere else."
Patriots finally have Lewis covered - The Boston Globe
"It was an annual conversation, maybe more than annual, that I had with [Eagles coach] Andy Reid." said Bill Belichick "We had discussed Greg Lewis in trade situations for . . . at least the last three years, and maybe longer. It might have even been his rookie year. It’s gone back a long way.’’

I’m still confused/frustrated that Shady is the LEAD blocker on kickoffs…. do the coaches want him to get injuried?….I do not understand this someone enlighten me…

Yea and our premier back is rehabbing right now and has a hard time stayin healthy for a full season…
Shady has looked great all training camp and now hes gonna be running full speed into linebackers on kickoffs……
I want him to “earn his bones” running the football scoring touchdowns.

it’s something rookies do no one wanted DeSean Jackson returning punts when he was our number 1 receiver do to injuries but that is the nature of the sport, young guys play Special Teams.

Yeah I understand but with this recent rash of injuries do you understand my concern…
and btw what is cobb’d?? like i see people write that and have no idea..fill me in
DeSEAN JACKSON THE 10NE
It's a reference to GCobb
when you misspell something or just say something that makes no sense in general, then cobb’d is appropriate to use.
Oh sorry professor Whodie… I though i made a pretty good point didnt spell check tho
DeSEAN JACKSON THE 10NE
Trent Cole is fine. Kolb is going to have an MRI, but he seems to think he’ll be fine. We’ll see with that one.
Injuries
You guys sure there isnt someone putting something in your water or gatorade? I mean I loathe the iggles, but everyday there is a new injury. Im starting to feel bad for you guys. But not enough to where i want you to beat us. Allow me to justify my sympathy as this, i feel bad for your team and you lose to us twice. that makes SENSE.

i hate how whenever there’s an unfamiliar name on here talking about “beating you guys” i always have to click on their name to see what team “we” is

ps. I realize the ‘!’ takes away the meaning of ‘meh’ but I like contradictions.

Is your screenname some kind of stupid world of warcraft handle or something?
Number one, we will not be losing to you guys twice this year. And we did happen to be one drive from the SB last year
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!!!!!!
Like I said last year to all the Skins fans at my office.
I would take losing to the Skins twice every year,
If it meant we go to the playoffs and they didn’t….. again.

i think that them beating us actually made our division by far the most intriguing and competitive division in the NFL. Tne Giants took the division. The Eagles and Cowboys cane down to the final game of the season…The Eagles move on……Thus making the Eagles the #2 in the division…and the Redskins beat us twice!!! Can you ask for a more complete circle? A more “level field.”

The problem with that is our division is so strong, when the weaker divisions play eachother and get winning records, the better teams get cut out of the playoffs

WoW is gay.
This is the 12th account i have had. All of my names have included Marshl. HogsHaven have booted me due to my inability to respond “NICELY,” so now i just repond less, and they can deal with me a few times a week. Im not trying to talk smack in my previous post, im being Sean Taylor status serious.

KOLB UPDATE:
MCL sprain. He’ll miss the Pats game, and will be listed as day-to-day after that. Good news.
Bye, Big Stew and JJ :(
