Kevin Curtis News

The Eagles believe they already are in compliance, at least in spirit, with the new NFL concussion policy reported by Fox analyst Jay Glazer yesterday, Birds general manager Tom Heckert said before last night's game.

Eagles guard Stacy Andrews will not dress for tonight's Bears game. Andrews wasn't listed on the team's injury report coming into the game, although he has been slowed by off-season knee surgery.

Coach Andy Reid confirmed what seemed to be implied in a statement released by Pittsburgh concussion specialists on Wednesday concerning 's immediate future: that the running back is out for the next three games.

THE FINAL play for Brian Westbrook in the Eagles' 31-23 Sunday loss at San Diego came in the third quarter.

Joe Mays was once given the chance to start for the Eagles at middle linebacker, but he couldn't lock up the position.

The Eagles finally got some good injury news yesterday, when cornerback Sheldon Brown was able to participate in individual drills at the start of practice, if not team activity.

Jason Babin, by an unofficial count, on Sunday at San Diego became at least the third Eagles ' defensive end to line up as a middle linebacker this season and rush the quarterback from that spot.

It was a theme McNabb brought up earlier in the season, when asked what the loss of Kevin Curtis meant to the receiving corps.

Injury Report: "[CB] Sheldon Brown has a hamstring strain and had an MRI this morning.

Terrell Owens was looking for someone to play Santa Claus at his Catch-A-Dream Foundation 81 Family Fun Day this holiday season.

Injury Report: "The two players that are out are [WR] Kevin Curtis and [LB] Akeem Jordan.

Two injured Eagles who are rarely seen during open locker room sessions reported encouraging news about their recoveries Thursday at the NovaCare Complex.

Weakside linebacker Akeem Jordan did not practice yesterday because of an injury to his right knee, and it appears unlikely that he'll be able to play Sunday against the San Diego Chargers.

Brian Westbrook's mild headache wasn't the running back's only setback over the weekend.

Andy Reid sees no difference in his team whether it's playing a close game or enjoying a blowout.

Some of the worst games of his life have come against the Philadelphia Eagles. Tony Romo was picked off twice and completed just 48 percent of his passes in a 23-7 loss at Lincoln Financial Field in 2006.

ONE RECENT Eagles trend really seemed to blossom in last Sunday's victory over the Giants.

"He always did a good job, but he just took it up another notch," Eagles coach Andy Reid said of the leadership of Donovan McNabb, celebrating a touchdown pass against the Giants.

The first time Steve Spagnuolo faced his former team, his defense sacked Donovan McNabb 12 times and held the Eagles' offense to one field goal.
