The Eagles put on the pads today. At least some of them.
Officially this is the first day players don helmters and shoulder pads and knocked heads at their Lehigh training camp.
Unfortunately, a lot of players won’t be putting on the pads.
The Eagles already have a long injury list, and they haven’t even hit anyone yet.
The much-ballyhooed new and improved offensive line, which was supposed to be using this time to gel into a cohesive unit? Don’t look for them today. Both of their new tackles are on the shelf.
Newly acquired Jason Peters has a quad spasm yesterday. Shawn Andrews, moving from guard to tackle while his brother slides in next to him, developed back spasms. At least he seems OK emotionally.
It might be Andy Reid’s emotions that bubble over. He’s got a long list of injuries without a single block or tackle being made, and he has yet to see his first-round draft pick on the field.
Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin remains unsigned, although everyone seems to think it’s “close.”
Probably a lot closer than seeing all the Eagles healthy and taking part in full-contact drills.
