Anyone got a line on updates?

Siposs was seen with a walking boot and crutches in the postgame locker room. Without Siposs, receiver Britain Covey handled field goal holding responsibilities and kicker Jake Elliott was the punter. Elliott’s one punt went 35 yards and Covey’s holds all went well.

Not good. I don't know who they could get off the street at this point in the season. Waiting for the sign Araiza thread.

Eagles brought in a USFL punter for a workout last month - Brock Miller.  If Siposs can't play, the team probably brings him in.  Doubt the team wants to disrupt its chemistry over a punter and doesn't seem like the type of baggage Lurie would allow for the team to carry.

As for the Blakenship injury, it's big.  Anthony Harris wasn't brought back for a reason.  I suspect the team will stay in house and promote the next man up pending recovery of Blankenship and CJ

I hope Lane's core injury isn't something larger than a small strain after the tests tomorrow.

Every time I see core injury I have flashbacks to McNabb's "core injury" that resulted in surgery due to sports hernia smh. I share your hope.

Losing Blankenship really hurts.  Never thought I'd say that.

I don't think it would be the same situation.  And FWIW, NFL players have been known to play through sports hernias.

Wonder if Howie makes a call to Harris? I think we can survive Chicago. Wonder if CJGJ will be available against Dal.

He's eligible to come off IR week 17 against the Saints

I remember back to Duce Staley who played an entire season (I believe) with a Sports Hernia..and cemented his legendary status...

Fantastic news on Blankenship:

That is great news for depth. Wow...used to be when you saw the cart that was it, but I guess they are being cautious now.Fingers crossed for Siposs and Lane now.

Whenever I see a non-contact knee injury, I always expect the worst. Glad to see this. 

 

No news on Siposs by the middle of the day can't be good.

Same here, particularly on that field.  It's a disgrace. 

At this point they have playoffs clinched, just need to work for that #1 seed.  Goedert coming back, Davis is back and getting back into the mix.  Lane Johnson is fine. Safety is the concern, they will have to manage until Blankenship and CJG come back.

I'm not as concerned about punter as much, they'll get a replacement but hopefully they won't be punting very much.  They can just score on 4th and 7.  B-)  

Siri confirms Eagles have to look for a punter

Siposs wasn't even putting up great numbers at punting. I think a replacement will be fine. It's his job at holder that concerns me more. Covey seemed to do a fine job, so I'm not too worried.

Didn't that Bills punter controversy end with zero charges and he is pretty good? Sign him.
