On the last day of training camp at Lehigh University the Eagles revealed that yet another player has suffered an injury.
Coach Andy Reid announced that starting right guard Todd Herremans could miss the entire preseason with a "stress reaction" in his left foot. Head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder said through a spokesman that a "stress reaction" is "a precursor to a stress fracture."
The injury to Herremans will most likely preclude the Eagles rebuilt offensive line from playing, or practicing, together as a unit before the start of the season. Three of Herremans' linemates, Shawn Andrews, Stacey Andrews, and Jason Peters have all missed time during training camp. There is speculation around Lehigh as to the motivation level of Shawn Andrews to get on the field and play, something that has plagued him since his bout with depression last season.
The offensive line for Thursday's preseason opener against the New England Patriots at Lincoln Financial Field will be the following: Jason Peters will start at left tackle, Max Jean-Gilles at left guard, Jamaal Jackson at center, Nick Cole at right guard and Winston Justice at right tackle. Reid stated that the starters will play about a quarter and a half during the opener.
