BALTIMORE -- Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, who the Eagles said they plan to interview for their head coaching position, will miss today’s playoff game at Baltimore against the Ravens due to an illness.
According to a Colts public relations official, Arians was taken to a local hospital “and is doing fine.”
The team says it doesn’t know any more about the details.

The Eagles added another body to the roster by signing cornerback Chris Hawkins to a futures contract.
Hawkins was not on a roster this past season, but he played nine games with the Tennessee Titans in 2011. He was third on the Titans with eight special teams tackles.
Hawkins, an LSU product, joined the league as an undrafted free agent with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was released by the Jaguars and the Ravens that season.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Andy Reid was told on Friday that he would no longer be the Eagles head coach as of Monday, a source close to Reid and another source close to the situation said on Sunday.
There have been several other reports that Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie told Reid that he was out in Philadelphia after 14 seasons. An Eagles official countered the reports and said that Reid had not yet been informed that he was going to be fired.
Reid did not respond to a request for comment on Sunday evening, although he said earlier that he had "not talked to [Lurie] about any of that."
