Official: DMac has Sports Hernia

[Wingspan]

Reid even said on Monday that the main concern was the chest and "getting it settled down".

reid is full of horseshtein....when will people stop listening to what he says to the media...i wish hed never speak again

i agree with that, especially since reid has flat out said "I only say in press conferences what I want them to hear"

Reid even said on Monday that the main concern was the chest and "getting it settled down". So I'm cool with him playing.

I'd believe Reid's being candid about this.  The chest injury would effect his throwing velocity, and since passing the ball is the bedrock of this offense....

The receivers are fine.

Followed by him going out and getting TO. He only said that not because the press wants to hear it, but because he's the GfrigginM and head coach of the team and he's not going to sit there and say, "Well, our WRs suck and we have to go looking for someone else".

[Mad-Lad]

i think everyone's spazzing for no reason.  why don't we all wait till after this week?

Right... good point.  Although I think a point that's already been covered so eloquently by Wingspan...

Where's the fun in that?

[rjs246]

I for one think we should all shut up until March and then look back very objectively and calmly discuss the ins and outs of the 2005-2006 season. Then and only then will the beacon of reason shine brightly upon the Concrete Board.

The Eagles point to the experience of cornerback Sheldon Brown a couple of seasons ago, when he played an entire year with a sports hernia

not saying it didnt happen but is there anywhere outside of the eagles website that says this happened...ive searched and searched and searched and searched and cant find one mention of it anywhere...not even on the eagles website prior to this week

Sheldon Brown talks about when he played the season with it

[MadMarchHare]

That season he wasn't starting.  He played way fewer snaps than McNabb will.  Bet he took a lot less punishment than McNabb will too.

I'd take care of it now.  Playing with it seems awfully risky.

Duce Staley.

I am not a doctor so I need to no what he is risking. The way I interpret all this information is the hole may become bigger causing more pain, but it's not like he's going to die.

[PhillyPhreak54]

The doc on the radio said that they can massage the guts sometimes to move around the intestine to relieve pain in a quick fix.

That sounds fun.

[PhillyGirl]

So, Sheldon Brown and Duce Staley both played with it and there was never talk about them risking their health.

If it was such a risky thing, McNabb wouldn't be playing. I'm so sure that the head coach and FO would really risk the franchise on it.

it's just something else for us to obsess about until they play another game.  thank goodness it's not the bye week.
