Todd Herremans to have surgery

In his post game press conference Andy Reid announced that LG Todd Herremans has a stress fracture in his left foot and will undergo surgery to fix it.

Starting left guard Todd Herremans will have surgery on his left foot on Friday and is likely to miss the regular season opener in Carolina.

Herremans has been sidelined with a stress reaction in his left foot. According to head coach Andy Reid, once the swelling went down an MRI revealed a fracture. Nick Cole has worked in place of Herremans and will likely get the starting nod against the Panthers.

Reid said that Herremans would miss "a couple of games." The early word is that he could miss the first 2-4 weeks.

On a more positive note, Reid also said that Shawn Andrews would be returning to practice in a limited role tomorrow.

He’s too busy getting his Michael Phelps on

About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.

Seriously.

Not to act all holier than thou, but when this same thing happens to the Redskins, they’ll tank.

Their starters match up with most teams’ starters, but the fact that they fail to draft young talent seems to sink them.

I only wish I could pick on the Giants the same way. Not so much though.

Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome
