Think he should sit, unless he's out there for a limited roll.

A Shorti or a Junior?

Goedert returns to practice.  Enters the 21 day practice window where they’ll either need to add him to the active roster or shut him down for the year.

I think he probably returns after the bye right? Another couple of weeks to get him ready...

That’s been my gut feeling for the past few weeks.  Fingers crossed.

"Jeffery has been cleared from his Lisfranc injury, but he suffered a calf injury and was ruled out for the Thursday night win over the New York Giants.”

Are Eagles players so fragile that they can’t even get out of light practices without injuring themselves?

Once a player is activated from the PUP list, he is not eligible to go on IR with the same injury. This could be a case (Jeffery) where if there is no trade partner by the deadline, this new injury will make him eligible for IR and with the new IR rules, we would still be able to activate him down the road (after 3 weeks) if injuries create a need.

I'd just send him the f home at this point, tell him stay there until we can cut you.........

This is what happens to athletes especially older ones that haven't played in a while. They are prone to soft tissue injuries. I still feel he can help us. Obviously if they can trade him, they will. But if they can't, might as well play him since we're paying him. Only way I see any team that may be interested is for him to play this weekend and show he is ready to go.

Absolutely NOT!  Let the young guys get valuable playing time.  AJ doesn't care.  You really seem him busting it on the field?  He's not busting it to get out there.  That's this teams problem.  Giving old beat up entitled (and paid) vets the benefit of the doubt.  Successful teams in this league, do not reward players with money and playing time on what they've done in the past.  They reward those for what they can do in the current or the future.  

 

They shouldn't have paid him.  But the best way to handle someone like him, is to sit him until he's chomping at the bit.  And I don't see it with him anymore.  At least not here.  

I agree.  To me the ONLY reason to play AJ this year would be to showcase himself to the rest of the league to potentially stir up interest to trade him.  Otherwise I'd much rather let the young guys get valuable play time to expedite their development - let them take their lumps in what is almost surely a lost season to better prepare them for a larger role as early as next year when you have to assume both AJ and DJax will be gone (rightfully so).

The other reason would be if they think, at some point, he can help them win games. Despite everything we've seen so far this season the Eagles have a very good shot at a home playoff game and have been strong finishers the past couple of years.  Once you get into the playoffs anything can happen. They're starting to get healthy too. 

We had high hopes at the beginning of the season.  Let's see where we are heading into the bye.

If you are smart like a lot of us are, you would understand that this "injury” is a joke, there’s a lot going on inside the locker room and this is just a cover up. There is no calf injury, there is no illness, the organization is trying to hide the fact that this whole Alshon deal was abysmal. He will not suit up for the eagles again. Book it, he’s fine he just won’t play for us and the organization is covering up the fact. They need to cut him or admit the fact that they made a mistake

I agree. They have no intention of playing him. I believe they have not put him on IR and have been letting it known he’s recovered from the Lis Franc in hopes they can trade him before the deadline. Once the deadline passes if he’s still here, he’ll go on IR for the year.

Because yet another injury will entice teams to want to swing a deal for him.

Ok so then what do they do? Make him a healthy scratch? Because that would look even worse.

I simply meant, incurring yet another injury will make him untradeable.  So seems the options are: (1) play him, (2) IR him, or (3) sit him.

Then they should have just put him on IR and not have him take up a roster spot for the past two months. They look like fools for doing so.

Reagor WILL play Sunday night!

It’s been a disaster and the eagles are hiding something behind this cover up, it’s embarrassing

All I know is there’s not one GM who would trade for Alshon after being out for a year with the injury he had and still not able to prove he can play. Heck and that without brining up that horrible contract Howie gave him.

Any news on Miles? Is he out Sunday?

[time2rock]

Gerry and Avery placed on IR.

He did not participate in practice yesterday so I’d imagine he is out.  Hopefully we see a bit more of Huntley mixed in.

Out

 

[Kz!]

Don't understand why they'd send Lane back out there again, headed into a bye week. Just let the dude rest.
