NEW ORLEANS (AP) -Saints leading rusher Deuce McAllister went to the locker room with an apparent right hamstring pull during New Orleans' second offensive series against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. McAllister came out after a bruising 12-yard gain in which he carried several tacklers forward a few yards just before going down. He had 28 yards on his first four carries before going to the sideline, where he lay on his back while being stretched by a trainer. He then left for the locker room. There |

| (MySportsbook) - If you're seeking a feel-good, worst-to-first story, look no further than the Louisiana Superdome, where the New Orleans Saints will play host to the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday. The Saints' story of resurgence has been well-chronicled, as a road-bound team that finished with a dismal 3-13 record in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 has returned with a vengeance one season later, opening up an early lead in the NFC South under first-year head coach Sean Payton.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -The Philadelphia Eagles prepared for Reggie Bush by practicing against Brian Westbrook. Just in time for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Westbrook took part in practices this week. The versatile running back hadn't been on the field much the past month except for games because of a lingering knee injury. Bush, the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft, already has drawn comparisons to Westbrook because he's a multiple threat as a runner, receiver and returner. ``The biggest problem |

| PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Sheppard gives Eagles a big weapon on defense |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Lito Sheppard is lightning-fast, elusive and has a knack for making big plays. Too bad he spends most of his time knocking down passes instead of running with the ball. Sheppard plays cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles, so his priority is shutting down receivers. He did his job so well in 2004 that he was an All-Pro and also went to the Pro Bowl after just his first full season as a starter. But it's Sheppard's speed and athleticism - even more than his cover skills - that make him |

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -It's one thing to get fired up when your fans are burning the jersey of a despised former receiver in the stadium parking lot. This weekend brings a stark change in environment for the Philadelphia Eagles, who go from their inspired victory over visiting Terrell Owens and the rival Dallas Cowboys to playing in New Orleans against a team that is very difficult to hate right now. ``If you're going to be a good football team, then you have to be able to put things in the past and move on.

Happy and healthy now, McNabb is off to the best start in his eight seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. The five-time Pro Bowl quarterback leads the NFL in yards passing (1,602) and touchdowns (11). His rating of 107.2 ranks third and he's thrown just one interception. Add in Philadelphia's 4-1 start and McNabb is an early-season favorite for MVP |

The 23-year-old Carroll was released last Tuesday by the Green Bay Packers after a dismal performance in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4. With the Eagles holding a slim 10-9 lead in the third quarter, Philadelphia receiver Greg Lewis beat Carroll for a 45-yard touchdown reception. Then, on the Eagles' next possession, a pass interference call on Carroll led to another Lewis |
