Peters is out; Herremans at LT
options
 

Jason Peters is out for today's Eagles-Chargers game. Todd Herremans will replace Peters at left tackle, Nick Cole will slide over from right guard to left guard and Stacy Andrews will get the start at right guard.

Herremans is making his first start at left tackle since the last game of his rookie season in 2005. When Peters injured his ankle last week against the Cowboys, Herremans stepped into Peters' void. The reconfigured line didn't fare too well, however.

Max Jean-Gilles could also see some action at either of the guard positions. He was sidelined with a shoulder strain and hasn't played in a month.

Safety Quintin Demps is also inactive. He was expected to return kicks with Ellis Hobbs done for the year, but rookie Jeremy Maclin will field kicks instead. Demps has an ankle sprain.

The following players also won't dress: RB P.J. Hill, CB Jack Ikegwuonu, LB Akeem Jordan, G Mike McGlynn and WR Kevin Curtis. Kevin Kolb is the emergency third QB.

    That's what happens when you draft lower-round warm bodies and try to make them into offensive linemen. That's just not how it works any more, Andy. And signing big men free agents just after major knee surgery ain't the way, either. Reid must go!!

    Gold Standard equals signing a free agent lineman who's a near bust while taking a $13 million cap hit. Amazing!
