Andy Reid announced today LB Akeem Jordan will miss his second straight game while Colt Anderson, King Dunlap & Derek Landri are all questionable. Danny Watkins, who sat out of practice earlier this week with a chest injury is good to go.

Akeem Jordan's presence on special teams was certainly felt last week, but Jamar Chaney actually played quite well at WILL in his place on the defense. Reid singled him out for praise today.

"Chaney's done a good job," he said. "He's worked very hard to get himself back in there after the injury. He had a good week last week and had a good week's work this week."

While Jordan won't be back, Colt Anderson's return would be a big boost to that struggling Eagles kick coverage unit.

First-place Eagles have to improve kick coverage

McCoy a problem for Piitsburgh D

Philadelphia: The question here is, which Eagles team will show up?Will it be the team that showed a lot of toughness in gritting out a close game against arch rival New York Giants last week, or the team that went out on the road in Week 3 and rolled over for a decent but not great Cardinals team? If the latter shows up, the Steelers will likely eat the Eagles for lunch.Key to...
