IS TALKIN' SOUL WITH DONOVAN MORGAN
Eagles coach Andy Reid said he was not in touch with anyone regarding coming aboard as a defensive consultant and did not offer the position to anyone.
"Nobody. Zero. Nothing," he said.
He also denied being involved in any conversations about the subject.
He said reports, including the one that he wanted to hire former Browns coach Eric Mangini "are all fabricated."

On the injury front, Cullen Jenkins has a triceps strain and is likely not to practice much today. Reid said he expects Jenkins to play Sunday.
Reid said Kurt Coleman and Jaiquawn Jarrett will split reps with the first team defense, with safety Jarrad Page limited by a stinger.
Juqua Parker will be limited with a high ankle sprain.
Trent Cole and Jason Peters will not practice.

Reid reiterated that the Eagles need to correct the issues with turnovers and improving on the little things. He cited a statistic that if you have five turnovers in a game, you have a 6 percent chance of winning. He said the team morale is good and the players want to get better.
More to come.

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.
