IS TAKING DOC TO SEE THE DOC
The Eagles signed tight end Tony Curtis and linebacker Curtis Gatewood and released former Temple quarterback Adam DiMichele and wide receiver Shaheer McBride, from Chester.
Curtis worked out for the team Friday and it seemed unlikely he would be offered a contract. He was released Aug. 4 by the Kansas City Chiefs.
Before being signed by the Chiefs this spring, he had been with the Dallas Cowboys. He appeared in 36 games with 11 catches for 50 yards and three touchdowns.
Gatewood was claimed by the Detroit Lions in April after being waived by the Chiefs. He signed with the Washington Redskins as a rookie free agent following the 2008 draft. After spending most of the season on the Redskins practice squad, Gatewood signed with the Chiefs on in November and appeared in four games.
Curtis will wear No. 83 and Gatewood will wear No. 48.

Bowen has covered the Eagles for the Daily News
since 2002.
Before that, he spent nearly 13 years covering the Flyers. It took Les
only a few seasons after the switch to figure out that there was no
penalty box at the Linc, and that the time really wasn't his, despite
what Andy Reid kept saying. Les came to Philadelphia and the Daily News
from Charlotte in 1983. In the intervening years, he has pretty much
lost track of NASCAR, and his accent. He, his wife Barbara, and their
two sons live in Haddon Township, New Jersey.

Domowitch has been with the Daily News since 1982.
He has spent most of his nearly 3 decades with the paper covering the
Eagles and pro football. For the last 10 years, he’s been a
selector for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A native of Wilkes-Barre
and a graduate of Wilkes University, Domo started his career in Texas,
working first for the Midland Reporter-Telegram (1976-78), and then for
the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where he covered some god-awful Texas
Ranger baseball teams. His first beat at the Daily News actually was
boxing, which he covered just long enough to lose 2 sports coats to
blood spatter before moving on to football. Domo and his wife Shelley,
a University of Oklahoma grad who still hasn’t gotten over
that Fiesta Bowl loss to Boise State 5 years ago, have 2 terrific
daughters -- Allison, 28, who is an attorney in South Jersey, and Amy,
25, who works in administration for a professional baseball team.
