As a former undrafted free agent who made good in his opportunity with the Philadelphia Eagles 30 years ago, Chiefs coach Herm Edwards fully understands the human drama that'll be boiling beneath whatever the final score might be in the last preseason game. ``Most fans see a bunch of young players playing. But those young players are the fu |

Owens hasn't played in an NFL game since Oct. 30. The Philadelphia Eagles banished him a few days later. His high-profile beginning with the Cowboys was off to a smooth start until he hurt his left hamstring the first week of training camp.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -The Philadelphia Eagles placed fifth-round draft pick and former Olympian Jeremy Bloom on injured reserve Tuesday after he missed most of training camp with an injured hamstring. Bloom was a burgeoning star at Colorado before his football career was put on hold by an NCAA ruling. In the fall of 2004, the NCAA said Bloom wasn't eligible for the football team because he accepted endorsements to keep his successful freestyle skiing career on track. The 5-foot-9, 172-pound Bloom was picked to |

Pinkston, who missed all of last season after tearing his right Achilles' tendon in training camp, will play in his first game since the Super Bowl 18 1/2 months ago when the Philadelphia Eagles host the defending champion Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday night. The wide receiver hadn't practiced much before this week because both of soreness in both of his Achilles' tendons and his willingness to play through pain had come under scrutiny.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Stephen Davis might not be unemployed much longer. The Philadelphia Eagles brought the four-time 1,000-yard rusher in for a physical and interview Monday to see if the 32-year-old Davis and his creaky knees can bolster an undersized running game hit with injury and inconsistency. ``He's been very productive in this league,'' coach Andy Reid said. ``We just want to investigate it.'' Davis was released by Carolina in March after finishing the season on injured reserve with knee injuries t |

He broke his leg late in the 1993 season playing with the Philadelphia Eagles. He signed with the Giants as a free agent after that season and led New York with 97 tackles in 2004. This recovery has been different. ``The frustrating part is you have no control over it,'' Emmons said. ``With a knee or ankle you can use ice |

The Presidents Race suits were built by Randy Carfagno, who has worked on mascots for the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Eagles, among others. He also builds costumes for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. ``People have called us to build oversized phones, empanadas, butterflies. That's what we do,'' Carfagno said. ``When you need something big and silly, you come to us.' |
