Ingram
The regular season can't come soon enough for the Eagles. A few days after losing middle linebacker Stewart Bradley for the season, another Eagle is gone for 2009: rookie tight end Cornelius Ingram. Ingram tore his ACL, the same ACL he tore last year in college, and will require surgery, putting him out for the year. While Ingram's loss won't hurt as much as Bradley's, Ingram was expected to step into the back-up tight end role and be a factor at some point this season.To get more competition at tight end, the Eagles signed undrafted rookie tight end Rob Myers.

  • New TE Depth Chart: Celek, Schobel, Bright.
  • Wow are we F-CKED at TE. I hated the pick of Ingram from the beginning, way too many question marks surrounding the guy. He obviously does not have the ability to stay healthy.
  • dtrik19--you are right-the eagles just took risk on kid---he has a lot of talent and learn offense ==put him ir come back next season?
  • dang all you would hear was how good he looked in camp and how healthy his knee was, then BAM, hes down 4 the year????
  • i couldnt wait to see him in the real season, great so whats that mean our 2nd tight end is Matt washed up schobel?
  • i thought that during this offseason the eagles shouldnt have been that worried about their WRs b/c of their core, and i thought they should have been more aggressive towards TONY GONZLEZ atlanta got him for just a 2nd rounder...
  • i think they will give the guys they have now a shot. but if they don`t work out they may sign a guy who is a free agent now, or someone who gets cut later.
