The Eagles appear to have hit a new low under Andy Reid. They have lost six in a row and are now 3-7 on the […]
The following Eagles are inactive for today’s 1 p.m. game against the Redskins: Michael Vick, Chris Polk, Mardy Gilyard, Jason Avant, Vinny Curry, Phillip Hunt and Nate Menkin.
Here’s the latest coaching buzz around the NFL, focusing on candidates who could be plucked from the college ranks, such as Oregon’s Chip Kelly, Stanford’s David Shaw and Penn State’s Bill O’Brien.
Mike Shanahan caught some flak for his comments following Washington’s loss to the Panthers two weeks ago where it sounded like he was conceding the season.
“Now you’re playing to see who obviously is going to be on your football team for years to come,” Shanahan said. “Now we get a chance to evaluate players and see where we’re at.”
You never want your coach to sound like he has thrown in the towel with seven games to play, but it’s hard to totally dismiss Shanahan’s mindset. His team just fell to the lowly Panthers, dropping them 3-6. He has a promising rookie quarterback and a grouping around him that obviously isn’t getting the job done collectively. So you use the remaining games to decipher which individuals fit with your vision moving forward.
The Eagles, also at 3-6, will be doing much of the same thing.

When the 2012 regular season wraps up roughly six weeks from now, the Eagles will have to make decisions at coach and quarterback – almost certainly in that order.
Chances are, we’ll have some idea by that time of what Nick Foles might be able to do in the league.
Meanwhile, at coach, Oregon’s Chip Kelly is a name already generating quite a bit of buzz.
So it’s at least worth noting that the pair have a bit of a history.
Offensive lineman Jake Scott was signed by the Eagles on Monday. He could see action less than a week later.
Danny Watkins (ankle) practiced all week but is officially questionable for Sunday’s game in Washington.
“Well, what you end up getting with the [high-ankle sprain], you get tweaks in there and it hinders your lateral mobility,” said Andy Reid. “I was proud of him for getting out here and going through what he did. He did a nice job with it. He’s making progress and we’ll just see how he does here over the next couple days.”
Eagles head trainer Rick Burkholder gave an update on Michael Vick’s condition Friday. It sounds like the quarterback is still a ways off.
“He’s had symptoms all week since the game. He’s had a headache, which has gotten better during the week. He’s foggy. He’s not very alert right now in terms of, he just doesn’t have that energy. He’s tired all the time,” said Burkholder. “He slept a lot. He’s not getting rid of the fatigue. I would consider him heavy-eyed. When you talk to him, he’s just not the Michael Vick I know when he’s healthy.”
The Eagles have officially ruled Vick out for Sunday’s game in Washington.
Michael Vick missed practice again on Friday as he recovers from what has been described as a significant concussion. He has been ruled out for Sunday’s game.
As anticipated, Nick Foles will get his first career start against the Redskins.
Danny Watkins (ankle) practiced for a third consecutive day and is officially questionable. Dennis Kelly, who played right guard in his absence, has been getting reps at right tackle this week and may be called upon Sunday.
Jason Avant (hamstring), Mardy Gilyard (hamstring) and Chris Polk (toe) are all listed as out.
