The foot injury which Eagles right tackle Todd Herremans sustained on Monday against the New Orleans Saints could sideline him for the rest of the season.  Herremans had an MRI on his foot yesterday and numerous reports have been made public which have him missing the rest of the season.

Well, you could pretty much tell the injury was serious, and there is no good reason to even chance it, best to shut him down.

This season is over. Better for him to get healthy for next year.

[Krukslonelyball]

Good, no reason to waste energy blocking for a bad QB.

[PhiEaglesWin07]

Yeah, season is over with. Why risk one of our few competent linemen left?

[EaglesCB37]

So now I'm guessing we go Dunlap/Mathis/Reynolds/Watkins/Kelly... ugh, how is Foles supposed to look good with this?!?

[TV Guy]

So does the OL injury situation give Jeff an excuse to keep Andy around?

For this week, at least, it's Dunlap/Mathis/Reynolds/Kelly/Bell

Boy, forgot about Watkins... this should be interesting

[JonnyEagles69]

I agree , sit him and peters in front of tapes the rest of the year , also practice with Foles. Next year = our year or atleast a one worth watching .

I'm sort of hoping Watkins/Vandervelde/Menkins start at RG and Kelly moves out to RT to keep Bell on the bench.

You say that as if there has actually been blocking at all this year by the o-line.

[McnabbsPHIeagles]

Ok he has been placed on IR and Vandervelde has been signed from the practice squad.

I swear to god I'll give Lurie a running 50 yard nut kick if he tries to blame this ineptitude on injuries and brings Reid back.

I was just going to post the same question, I say yes but I'm hoping for no.

[MIRV Griffen]

If it wasn't already, this oline is going to be hilariously bad in the coming weeks.

There might be a revolt on the level of King Louis XVI if he tries that ish.

You might have to take a number because I'm sure there is going to be one hell of a long line!

You forgot for a good reason.  He sucks.

[f_dallas]

Terrible luck, but the Eagles better not use injuries on the O-line as an excuse to give Reid another shot next year.  This team stinks and the injuries on the line are just multiplying that suckiness.

[BillTheButcher]

ok, but what is the injury? seems like they are trying to hide it... ?

exactly you guys better be careful what you wish for, i've been thinking this alot also especially now with Herremans done.

And im sure in Luries eyes Watkins is an excellent young guard so theres 4 starters from last season out....

Dont keep asking for Foles to start because this will only cement Andy's job for next season especially if Foles comes in and puts up solid numbers...

[E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles]

This season is really over.  There is no way this will work out well.

We'll have to wait on Howie's decision on that one.  You know, since he's running the team for the next 5 years.  

[metalhead0043]

The way he landed on his ankle looked similar how Brian Westbrook landed on his back in 2008 against the Steelers. Regardless, this is not good.

Demetrius Bell is worthless
Salt meet wound... it takes a bad situation and makes the cynic smile

[ckudrick]

I expected this move ... hope he can recover fully & come back strong next season.

Good point.

I'm beginning to think Reid has already offered Foles the starting job, but Foles asked to wait until he had some starters protecting him.... Nah! Reid's still stuck with the mindset that Vick is the best pocket passer in the NFL.
