Eagles Vs Cardinals Injury Report: Evan Mathis & Nate Allen Ruled Out

by JasonB on Nov 11, 2011 3:00 PM EST in Philadelphia Eagles News

The Eagles have released their final injury report of the week and Evan Mathis and Nate Allen have both been ruled out for this weekend. Mathis is suffering from turf toe and Nate Allen has a concussion. Both are fairly big injuries given how the two have been playing.

Mathis has been very good all season and Allen has really started to play well since his re-insertion into the starting lineup. As of now it appears that King Dunlap and rookie Jaiquawn Jarrett will start in their place. It's a new role for Dunlap, who has only played tackle up to this point, but I'm actually kind of optimistic given that he's been surprisingly good in every game he's played since last season. I would not have expected to say this three years ago, but actually do trust King Dunlap.

It is interesting however that Jamaal Jackson didn't get the call at LG...

As for Jarrett, that's a spot I'm a lot more concerned about. Certainly Jarrett has a good pedigree and figures to be an important part of the D in the coming years, but right now this is a player without a lot of experience. In fact, filling in for Allen in the second half last week was the first notable time he's seen playing safety all year. So while I'm glad to have the shot to see our second round play, I'm nervous about seeing an inexperienced rookie out there. That said, if he was going to be out there for any game... Let's be honest, it's this one.

I think they’re just easing Jamaal back into things slowly, so that he doesn’t get re-injured and wind up like an Andrews. Especially since they can afford to do so, since the O-Line is surprisingly decent this year.

Or Jamaal just doesn't play well in Mudd's system....

Dunlap’s going to be knocked out with a concussion after Vick throws a laser that accidentally nails him in the back of the head.

nah

don’t give up hope. One game at a time, man. The giants play SF, us, NO, GB. They could easily lose those 4. If we win the next 4, we’re ahead of them.

Any other team would pretty much be done. But the birds? Not just yet…

At least he isn’t Jarred Page.

He can’t be any worse than Page. There is no way.

Dunlap is…average..and that is on his best day at T. I can’t see how moving him inside is going to fair on the positive side of things. I mean, what the hell is Jackson doing? Can he be that bad anymore that he cant even get on the field over an average at best back up??

Another thing, good luck throwing slants or curls from the left side with Dunlap dead smack in Vicks FOV
