Here’s a look at the NFC East:
- The Eagles have yet another medical controversy on their hands with the DeSean Jackson situation, as Les Bowen of the Inquirer writes. The Eagles allowed Jackson to try to heal his core muscle tear through rest and rehab, but medical sources say it’s rare for an explosive athlete like Jackson to be able to function effectively without surgery.
- On Wednesday, Cowboys defensive lineman Daniel Ross was arrested on Possession of Marijuana and Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon charges, according to Calvin Watkins of the Dallas News (on Twitter). Ross, 26, appeared in 13 games for the Cowboys last year but has been on IR this season due to a shoulder injury.
- Jason Peters will regain his left tackle job once he’s healthy and back in the regular lineup, head coach Doug Pederson says (via E.J. Smith of The Inquirer). The 37-year-old has missed three straight games with a knee injury, but ranks as Pro Football Focus’ No. 9 tackle this year.
Well I hope Peters is 100% healthy when he returns as this is his last season as a player but I’m sure he’ll be an assistant OL coach for birds moving forward. As far as Andre Dillard goes he’s played very well and was a great pick by the birds.

I’m sorry but I’m so sick and tired of constantly hearing about the future Hall of Famer peters. He’s done very little the past couple of years. I just wish he would’ve retired along with Sproles.
For my money he is the only reason they beat the bears in the playoffs last year.
