PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Philadelphia Eagles cornerback and kick returner Ellis Hobbs is done for the season with a neck injury suffered in Sunday night's loss to Dallas.

The Eagles acquired Hobbs in a draft-day trade in April, sending a pair of fifth-rounders to the Patriots in exchange for the five-year veteran. Hobbs recorded 14 tackles in eight games as a backup. |

| Minneapolis, MN (MySportsbook) - The eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Tuesday that embattled Philadelphia Eagles quarterback can keep the $29.5 million in bonus money he earned with the Atlanta Falcons prior to his suspension. An arbitrator originally ruled that Vick had to repay a prorated portion of the money he was paid in bonuses due to the fact that he didn't play the entire length of his contract after being suspended from the league. After an appeal, Judge David Doty reversed that decision, |

Turner will be hoping for a similar showing when the team returns home this Sunday to battle a very tough opponent in the Philadelphia Eagles. The key for this week is applying the same type of pressure on Donovan McNabb that the defense did to Manning on Sunday. The Eagles' offense was held in check by Dallas in similar fashion on Sunday, with McNabb's timing with his receivers often thr |

The former Pro Bowl quarterback, who spent two years out of football while serving a federal prison sentence as a result of a dogfighting operation, has played sparingly as a "Wildcat" quarterback with the Philadelphia Eagles this season. Vick has a one-year option with the Eagles for next season, but the team is highly unlikely to exercise that option. "I told Michael to just worry about this year," said Dungy. "It's technically up to Philadelphia. If they want him back |

| U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday affirmed Judge David Doty's order saying Vick had already earned the bonuses before his dogfighting conviction, so the money wasn't subject to forfeiture. Vick served 18 months in prison and is now with the Philadelphia Eagles. Doty has long handled matters arising from the NFL's collective bargaining agreement. After Doty ruled in the Vick bonus case, the NFL accused him of bias and sought to end his oversight of its contract with the players union. The appeals court |
