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.” Reid would not reveal who would take Watkins’ place if he can’t go.

Nnamdi Asomugha: Internet Cop

Nnamdi Asomugha is the latest NFL player to team up with Funny or Die for the purposes of off-beat yukkity yuks on video.

The Nigerian prince spam isn’t a particularly new reference to online culture, so hopefully in future installments, Nnamdi...
