{Of the three injuries suffered Sept. 8 by the Eagles, the foot "sprain" to free safety Brian Dawkins draws the most concern, ESPN.com's John Clayton reports. Dawkins underwent an MRI Sept. 9 and is expected to be out two-to-three weeks. If this is a Lisfranc sprain, it could sideline Dawkins for an even longer period. Duce Staley had a Lisfranc injury a few years ago, and the injury is considered serious enough to jeopardize the remainder of the season. Cornerback Bobby Taylor has a foot strain. Though it is not considered serious, Taylor may not be able to play Sept. 14 against the Patriots. The hamstring strain of defensive end Brandon Whiting isn't regarded as too bad, except that it's the same hamstring that caused problems for Whiting when he missed time during training camp. If Whiting can't play against the Patriots on Sunday, the Eagles will be without their four of their top defensive ends starters Whiting and Derrick Burgess and rookies Jerome McDougle and Jamaal Green.}
Wow. You hate to see people go down. It's odd how hard the Eagles have been hit this year. Dawkins is a beast and the Eagles could really suffer this year.
I think this might really help us get up to number 2 in our division. I thought the Eagles would falter this year because of the lack of forward progression last year... but now i don't know how much of a chance they have.
