Heading into Week 4′s matchup against the New York Giants, the Eagles have made a couple slight adjustments to their depth chart.
When Chris Polk saw the number on his phone, he figured his time in Philadelphia was up.
The Eagles running back sat around and waited Friday. He couldn’t eat. He couldn’t sleep. He made sure he had his ringer on loud.
About 16 hours earlier, Polk was in the end zone, celebrating a 3-yard touchdown in the Eagles’ final preseason game against the Jets. Now, he was waiting to find out if it was time to turn in his playbook.
“It didn’t ring until Coach Duce [Staley] called me from his office phone, which I didn’t have stored,” Polk said. “It’s a 2-1-5 number, so I was like ‘Oh man, I’m cut.’ I waited until the last ring to actually answer it.”
This little piece of news kind of slipped through the cracks with everything else going on the last few days: Andy Reid said he didn’t play Dion Lewis against the Jets because of injury Thursday.
“Dion, I don’t think Dion’s really 100 percent yet,” said Reid. ”That’s why I held him and [LB Jamar] Chaney out. I just didn’t feel comfortable playing them.”
With the regular season officially upon us, this is something to pay attention to. Lewis, who was not listed on the injury report by Reid heading into the game, has been dealing with a hamstring injury on and off this preseason.
The Eagles roster is beginning to take shape.
Wide receiver Chad Hall will be released today, according to multiple reports. Hall was thought to be on the bubble as the Eagles trim their roster down to 53.
With Mardy Gilyard also being released, there is a good shot that the Eagles go with five wide receivers: DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Jason Avant, Riley Cooper and Damaris Johnson.… Read More
