GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -A day after two of his errors helped fuel a Philadelphia Eagles victory, former first-round draft pick Ahmad Carroll was released by the Green Bay Packers.

Packers general manager Ted Thompson said Tuesday the team released the cornerback who was drafted in the first round in 2004.

In the Eagles' 31-9 win Monday night in Philadelphia, Carroll's blown coverage led to a touchdown that put Philadelphia ahead 17-9, and a costly penalty by him led to another.

Carroll played 34 games in fo

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Donovan McNabb threw two touchdown passes to Greg Lewis to help the Philadelphia Eagles take a 24-9 lead over the Green Bay Packers after three quarters Monday night.

Dave Rayner kicked three field goals in the first half, including a 54-yarder, for the Packers. But he was wide left on a 54-yard attempt late in the third quarter and the Eagles took advantage.

Two plays later, McNabb threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to Lewis, the wide receiver's first score of the season.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Dave Rayner kicked three field goals, including a 54-yarder, to give the Green Bay Packers a 9-7 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles at halftime Monday night.

Donovan McNabb scored on a 6-yard run for the Eagles after Philadelphia twice lost fumbles inside the 5.

Both teams were playing without their starting running backs, with Ahman Green and Brian Westbrook deactivated with injuries.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Dave Rayner kicked a 23-yard field goal to give the Packers a 3-0 lead after one quarter Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles, whose best scoring chance ended when they fumbled at the Green Bay 2.

Both teams were playing without their starting running backs, with Ahman Green and Brian Westbrook deactivated with injuries.

Westbrook, still bothered by a sore knee, leads the Eagles with 256 yards rushing and three touchdowns, and has caught 15 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns.

Rhodes flew back to Seattle on a commercial jet Monday, about half a day behind the team.

The exact nature of Rhodes' situation was not immediately disclosed. The former Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles coach, who turns 56 this month, had a stroke in September 2005.

He then had what the team called a second ``strokelike episode'' on Nov. 4 and was hospitalized overnight. He was Seattle's defensive coordinator at the time, but John Marshall took o

Belichick said he worked out Johnson at USC before the 2001 draft and remembered Johnson, who played at Oregon State, proudly flying his college's flag as he drove onto campus.

Patriots strong safety Rodney Harrison, who traded real barbs with Philadelphia Eagles receiver Freddie Mitchell leading up to the 2005 Super Bowl, also got a chuckle out of Johnson's to-do list. Johnson said he would knock Harrison's helmet off, flip Samuel upside down and fight Eugene Wilson if the free safety tried to hit him comin

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -The Philadelphia Eagles were without four starters and a key backup when they returned to practice Thursday.

Cornerback Lito Sheppard and backup Rod Hood, running back Brian Westbrook, safety Brian Dawkins and wide receiver Donte' Stallworth sat out with various injuries.

Sheppard, who missed the last two games with a sprained ankle, and Hood (heel strain) are doubtful for Monday night's game against the Green Bay Packers.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Brian Westbrook has spent more time in the end zone than on the practice field lately.

Despite missing practices most of the past two weeks because of a knee injury, Westbrook has been in the starting lineup for the Philadelphia Eagles each of the last two Sundays. His totals in those two games: 185 yards rushing, 103 yards receiving and four touchdowns.

Maybe 76ers star Allen Iverson was right when he ranted about the merits of practice four years ago. Westbrook doesn't seem to need it.<

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -Receiver Donte' Stallworth was a late scratch from the Philadelphia Eagles' lineup against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday with a hamstring injury.

Stallworth was listed as probable on the Eagles' injury report Friday, but missed practice before the team traveled to the West Coast. He had emerged as Donovan McNabb's primary target since his arrival in a trade with New Orleans last month, catching 11 passes for 222 yards and two scores.

Running back Brian Westbrook was active for the Ea

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Vic Sears, a member of the Philadelphia Eagles championship teams of 1948-49, has died at 88.

He died Thursday at his home in Winston-Salem, N.C.

A tackle out of Oregon State, Sears played 13 seasons and 131 games with the Eagles. He was part of the ``Steagles'' in 1943, a team formed when Philadelphia temporarily merged with the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a manpower shortage during World War II.

Sears played on three Eagles teams that reached the NFL championship from 1947-49. Philadel
