Eagles tight end L.J. Smith had surgery today on his groin and will miss Sunday's game against the Lions. Brian Westbrook and Brian Dawkins are listed as questionable in the Eagles Friday injury report.

L.J. has surgery to clean out scar tissue around his groin and will miss the game on Sunday. Trainer Rick Birkholder says this will allow L.J. to get back to his strength and ability before he had the sports hernia. He's expected to return in the next few weeks. It's not good news that Brian Dawkins did not practice today. Andy said Brian is getting better but there's no guarantee that BDawk will play. Quintin Mikell will get the start if BDawk can't play. Brian Westbrook did get in some work today, and he looked great. but they'll take a look at him tomorrow morning to make sure he doesn't get furthere swelling in his knee. Lito Sheppard did some running today and has an outside chance of playing. His chances of playing are slim. Donovan McNabb didn't wear the brace on his leg today. Status Report |
