Leonard Weaver feeling good

by JasonB on Aug 23, 2009 1:47 PM EDT in Philadelphia Eagles News

Leonard Weaver was back in practice this weekend(albiet not fully) and told PE.com that he's feeling good.

"I'm feeling real good right now," Weaver said.

Weaver sprained a knee ligament on the first offensive play from scrimmage when, the fullback said, his leg got caught up in some traffic with some linemen.

"I didn't think it was that bad," Weaver said. "When I jogged off the field I had a chance to feel what it was like and it was all right."

Weaver was diagnosed with an MCL sprain and will likely be held out of the final two preseason games, but should be ready to go for the start of the season.

An ode to the seriousness of the preseason

I think alot of our players are sitting out because its the preseason, not because they are seriously hurt, and we really wont see the real eagles till the games start to matter

At least this will give us a chance to see more of Mailei. I haven’t heard much from that guy since the start of preseason.

Andy, sit Weaver

I don’t want to see Weaver touch a football field during a game until Sept 13.

Oh, I’m sure he’ll listen to you. ;)

I hope so…. a successful running game might lay in weavers hands more than any other guy on the team, if we ever want to get away from our “short passing game = running game” Andy likes so much.
