Gaither underwent surgery last week after he suffered a Lisfranc surgery, so it was only a matter of time before the Birds stashed him away for the rest of the year. The injury to Gaither was the whole reason the Eagles brought in Will Witherspoon.To replace Gaither on the roster, the Eagles have signed RB P.J. Hill, who as on the practice squad for the Saints.

However I'm not sure anyone thought the prognosis would be a Lis Franc sprain and season-ending surgery.But that's where the Eagles stand now. It's another starting linebacker down for the year, forcing the Eagles to give up a fifth-round pick and a promising young rook...

This certainly hurts any way you look at it. From Eagles Bloghead: Surgery For Gaither; Second Opinion For Curtis Middle linebacker Omar Gaither will have surgery for a Lisfranc sprain in his foot and will "most likely" be lost for the season, according to head coach Andy Reid.With Gaither out, newly added Will Witherspoon will step in as the starter in the middle. ...

 to be over, and the Eagles have inserted Omar Gaither back into the
 starting middle linebacker job this week.  Nobody campaigned louder for
 Joe Mays' opportunity than us, but with the season quickly approaching
 and roughly zero positive standout moments for the second year player,
 it's time to make the switch.Hugh Douglas' description last
 Thursday that Mays has played "timid" was perfect.  It's not that May...
