Hop Aboard the Pain Train

This already disappointing season is getting worse.
As if it wasn't bad enough, things seem to just be getting worse. The injury bug has finally bit the Eagles, and it just so happen to bite three superstars.

Jeremy Maclin suffered a shoulder and hamstring injury last week against Arizona. He did not practice Thursday, and most likely will not play against the Giants Sunday night. He's listed as questionable.

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie tore some ligaments last week. He is listed as questionable, but it's almost a guarantee he will not play. It also doesn't help his case that he didn't practice Thursday either.

As I wrote earlier in the week, Vick broke two ribs last Sunday. He was another Eagle that did not practice Thursday. He too is listed as questionable. The opinion of most people is that he will not play against the Giants. However, the Eagles' offensive coordinator, Marty Mornhinweg, said that Vick did not have to practice to play Sunday. It would not surprise me if the Eagles were just doing this as a strategy to hopefully throw off the Giants gameplan. They may hope the Giants over prepare for vick, and under prepare for Young.

No matter who plays, we'll see if the Eagles have given up on their season yet, or still want to play come Sunday night.
