Staying healthy is one of the keys to having a good season in the NFL. So far the Birds haven’t been doing a good job of it and that’s one of the reasons they were blown out yesterday.
We all know that Donovan McNabb was out due to injury.
Brian Westbrook was running on a deflated tire because he sprained the same ankle he had surgically repaired.
“It was just sore,” Westbrook said the game. “I tried to put a little weight on it. Tried to be effective out there on the field. You don’t want to go out there and hurt the team. As far as running, I wanted to make some cuts, and I just wasn’t able to do it.”
DeSean Jackson continues to have problems with his groin. They can’t afford him to go down with an injury.
“My groin has been banged up all week,” Jackson said. “I just have to do a little bit of work. I’ll be all right.”
Kevin Curtis is laboring. He’s just not himself and he can’t totally open up his speed. I haven’t seen him turn it loose for nearly a year. He hasn’t been 100% since that sports hernia surgery.
Their offensive line isn’t what the Birds hoped it would be because of injuries to the Andrews brothers. Shawn is getting ready to head to California because of his back and Stacy is coming off the bench as he tries to recover from knee surgery.
Victor Abiamiri was able to play yesterday which was a good thing.
