The Eagles needed to add another body to the wide receivers corps after Ron Johnson suffered what will turn out to be a season-ending injury on Monday. They made the move on Tuesday, signing Andrew Brewer from the United Football League and waiving/injured Johnson. Brewer, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound Northwestern product, is a former teammate of Eagles backup quarterback Mike Kafka. He played in 2010 and 2011 with the Omaha Nighthawks, whose general manager was Rick Mueller. Mueller is now a player personnel executive with the Eagles.

Crazy Day Off for Eagles... back to work Wednesday...
To be honest not really a day off, as teammates and coaches were in meetings all day... but a day off in the sense it gives guys 24 hours to assess their sore bodies and put together a plan to avoid unnecessary pain today...Too bad that notion does not apply to WR Ron Johnson, who was unceremoniously waived by the team with a relatively paltry injury settlement of $60,000 for the...

Eagles DE Trent Cole Sidelined With AC Injury, Could Be Out A Week
Eagles coach Andy Reid said defensive end Trent Cole has developed an AC joint (shoulder) problem that could keep him out of practice "anywhere from a day to a week." Cole and fellow starting DE Jason Babin (calf) are unlikely to miss regular season time with their injuries. Their absence right now should give an extended look to players such as Brandon Graham, Phillip...

2012 Top 9 Bold Fantasy Football Predictions
9. Michael Vick will finish in the top 5 ranked Quarterbacks.
