ANDREWS' SITUATION SOON TO BE RESOLVED

The Shawn Andrews situation could be resolved by the end of this afternoon's practice at Lehigh University.

Rich Moran, the agent for the Eagles' two-time Pro Bowl guard, said Andrews was in the process of talking to Eagles officials about his situation and that an announcement could be made after the 2:45 p.m. practice.

Andrews has missed the first 12 days and 18 full-squad workouts of training camp because of "personal issues." There has been speculation, but no public statement from the team about why Andrews has been absent. Coach Andy Reid reiterated this morning that Andrews' absence has been unexcused. The Eagles have not said if they were going to fine Andrews for his missed time.

Reid said he had spoken recently with Andrews, but he wasn't any more comfortable with the situation.

"I'll feel comfortable when he's  here," Reid said. "He has to take care of his business and get himself right and get back here."

The coach also lauded reserve Max Jean Gilles for his work at right guard during Andrews' absence.

"The other guy is getting an opportunity to play and he's doing a good job with it," Reid said.

I hope everything works out for "the big kid" If not maybe Max can step in and hold down the position admirably.

About The Inquirer's Eagles blog

Bob Brookover, left, is in his seventh year of covering the Philadelphia Eagles after spending 15 years covering the Philadelphia Phillies for the Inquirer and two other newspapers. The 45-year-old Brookover lives in Delran with his wife Francine and roots for Notre Dame and Michigan State, the two schools attended by his children, Justine and Ryan. When Notre Dame plays Michigan State, he cheers for the school of the child he likes more at that particular moment.

Jeff McLane, right, joined the Eagles beat in April 2009 after two years of covering colleges, namely Penn State football. Before that he covered high school sports for The Inquirer. Before that he worked in the mailroom (not quite). Informed that his father is no longer covering the Lions, McLane's eldest, three-year-old son said, "You mean Simba, Scar and Mufasa, Daddy?" His two-year-old son -- excited about the move to the Eagles -- said, "Go, Deigo, Go!" or something like that. His wife of five-plus years, however, had a different take on the new job. "Another five years is in question," she said. Check out McLane on Twitter and Facebook for instant updates on the Eagles.
