Jean-Gilles out; Kolb 3d QB
options
 

LANDOVER, Md. -- Max Jean-Gilles is out for tonight's game against the Redskins. The Eagles guard was questionable coming in with a right shoulder strain. Jean-Gilles, who had started the last four games at right guard, wasn't expected to start, but was eligible to rotate with either Nick Cole on the right or Todd Herremans on the left.

Herremans is playing in his first game of the season after sitting out the last two months with a stress fracture in his foot. Stacy Andrews is available at guard.

Kevin Kolb is the emergency third quarterback for the second straight week. Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick are the Eagles' two active quarterbacks.

The other inactives are: cornerback Dimitri Patterson (quadriceps), linebacker Joe Mays, guard Mike McGlynn, wide receiver Kevin Curtis (knee), defensive end Victor Abiamiri (knee) and linebacker Omar Gaither (foot).

The Eagles and Redskins kick it off here at FedEx Field in about an hour and a half.

    After 5 games, Kevin Kolb leads the team in passing yards. Amazing that he started 2 games vs 3 starts for McNabb. His completion percentage is in the mid 60s while McNabb's is in the mid 50s. Hmm?

    Why is he on the roster???? Because the fat man knows how important a running game is to a football team. LOL... No wait I was thinking about anybody other then Reid.

    if they made vick the 3rd quarterback, they would not be able to use him in the wildcat. once the 3rd string qb comes in the game, the 1st and 2nd string cant return to the game until the 4th quarter. those are nfl rules

    Big bear trap game, lousy offense but one with two things that kills us - good TE and bruising back. Plus Skins' D-line can exert some pressure

    don't think so davi, eagles should win and cover easily. they DO have an offense especially versus a division opponent. afc opponents (yes i'm referring to OAK) come on, truly don't matter as much as NFC ones do when the final standings are examined.
