Coaching Buzz: A Look At Jay Gruden

The focus may be on the wrong Gruden.

While plenty of fans are clamoring for the more famous brother, Jon, to climb down from the broadcast booth to take over the Eagles in 2013, the chances  of that becoming a reality are slim. But hiring his younger brother, Jay, just might make some sense.

Vick, McCoy Ruled Out For Bengals

Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy both took steps forward this week but have officially been ruled out of  Thursday’s game against the Bengals.

Vick and McCoy returned to the practice field Tuesday in a limited capacity and were scheduled to visit an independent neurologist Wednesday as part of the league’s concussion protocol in hopes of being cleared to play.  The Eagles allowed for the possibility that they could be available for Cincinnati, but have since closed the door.

Chris Polk (toe) is questionable for Thursday night. Nate Allen (shoulder), Nnamdi Asomugha (neck/quad), Stanley Havili (ankle), Mychal Kendricks (shoulder), Jeremy Maclin (groin), Evan Mathis (ankle) and Dallas Reynolds (ankle) are all probable.

Eagles Wake-Up Call: Will Foles Answer the Skeptics?

The debate around Nick Foles this week: How much of his success on Sunday can be attributed to the fact that he was going up against the worst pass defense in the NFL?

The answer: We’ll find out Thursday.

The Bengals are ranked 10th against the pass and are sixth overall as a defense. They lead the league in sacks (42) and are considered one of the most disruptive units in the game. This is a big step up in class for the rookie.

Injury Update: McCoy, Vick Not Ruled Out Yet

LeSean McCoy and Michael Vick are in Phase 5 of the rehab process from concussions suffered last month and returned to practice in a limited capacity today.

“We’re not listing them as out,” said head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder. “They’re still very much alive for things. We’ll see how they do today and take it day by day. Of course, they have to get through this fifth phase, they have to get to the independent [neurologist], which could be tomorrow, and they have to see [team doctor] Dr. [Gary] Dorshimer and get his clearance as well.”
