No idea, he’s supposed to go in for imaging (MRI) today. There is a possibility it’s a strain vs a tear.

This may be why

So help me understand. You have 11 players; take out the qb you have 10. Half of them have to be on the line and half of them have to be receivers at least 1 yard off the LOS. In this case if its a lineman that doesn't have the number of a WR/TE hey have to go to report as eligible to ref. 

But in watching the replay it doesn't look like the ref is in verbal communication with #70. 

Anyway is it not a stupid rule to have to report if there are 5 on the line and 5 a yard off it?

 

7 need to be on the LOS, and the 2 outside players need to be eligible/reported as eligible receivers. All others need to be a yard back at the snap.

He's not the backup C, G or OT. It would take 2-3 injuries for him to get in.

I would have deactivated Scott for Roby. Gainwell can return kicks.

He could be the backup G. He was ahead of Opeta on the depth chart not too long ago. Not a great sign the guy you used pick #65 has fallen behind everyone. 

Thanks to the Cowboys handing the Eagles the #2 seed back from the Lions we are just a month away from this image again.

 

Too little, too late

I don't know if this is a credible account

Ummmm, this inactive list makes no sense. Every week I scratch my head at how they manage this roster.

-Roby provides insurance if/when Maddox aggravates his pec.

-Both starting OG have been battling injuries all year and your top back up, Opeta isn't all that great. 

-The DL is already gassed and playing too many snaps so don't play your DT5.

Maybe. We saw this with the last 3rd OG (Seumalo) and it turned out fine.

Objectively, Roby should be up instead of Bradberry. BENCH BRADBERRY

Penny is active!!!

It's on boys!!!

Don’t mind the last one. Ojomo is active and is the DT5

Can't wait for Penny to get zero carries.

The Eagles are very loyal to their vets, especially when they are on fresh, big contracts.

Bradberry vs. Roby in the slot may become an important question.  No one should have much faith that Maddox plays every game from here on out (or that he can give them a good full game today after such a long layoff).  I wonder if the inactives from today reflect that they like Bradberry in the slot better than Roby.

If Maddox becomes injurred/limited, for playoffs, they might prefer Slay/Ringo/Bradberry to Slay/Bradberry/Roby.

I bet he gets 1-2 to open the 2nd half.

He’ll get one carry for eight yards and never get another touch.

-Agreed. There were better inactive choices than Roby…unless they’re going with Ringo/Ricks/Maddox and Bradberry will be the backup slot. 

-Opeta had a decent game last week, and the Cards front 7 isn’t exactly dominant. 

-Ojomo is DT5 today. Marlon has been a JAG at best. Letting younger guys with more potential get playing time. Fine by me.

Yeah unless we are running like 50 times that's probably best case scenario. It will be Swift, then Gainwell, then the other guys.

I hope Penny being active doesn’t screw up my SGP.

One of my biggest Howie criticisms: He'd rather play a vet over a rookie unless that rookie is so clear-cut (Carter, Devonta, Dickerson, etc). 

My ideal trio for the playoffs: Slay and Ringo with Maddox inside. You have size outside and speed inside. Slay is still fast enough to run with most NFC WRs (not Jameson Williams), especially on grass. Slay/Ringo also have the best ball skills of any of our CBs.

If give Bradberry any real snaps in the playoffs we deserve what we get.
