http://www.yardbarker.com/content/player/1655 Recent articles about Kevin Curtis en-us If you had any expectations for the Eagles 2008 season, the news today from the Nova Care Center had to be crushing. Top wide out Kevin Curtis is out for a "significant" amount of time. I my opinion, Eagles fans who think the Eagles need a better core of wide outs don't know football. Curtis had 77 catches, 1,110 yards and seven touchdowns and that was in year one of the very complicated Eagles system and with a less then steller Donovan McNabb throwing the ball to him.

No timetable was given for a possible return, but given the past history of the injury, it could be many weeks. Curtis becomes the third Eagles player to have a sports hernia in the last few years. Reid said he is not interested in bringing in another receiver at this time. With Reggie Brown still out with a hamstring injury, the starting receivers Friday at New England will be DeSean Jackson in Brown's spot and either Hank Baskett or Greg Lewis in Curtis' spot.

Kevin Curtis, the Eagles number one wide receiver, will be out for "quite a while" according to head coach Andy Reid. Curtis will undergo surgery on Thursday for a sports hernia and is expected to be out for at least part of the season. This is a pretty big blow to the already thin Eagles receiving group. Number two wideout Reggie Brown has been out the last week as he deals with a hamstring injury, leaving mostly unproven players and mediocre veterans as the only healthy wide receivers. Brown is expected to be healthy enough for the first game of the season, but he certainly won't be 100%. Let's hope that the Eagles are doubling their efforts in trying to pry Anquan Boldin away from the Arizona Cardinals, because all of the sudden the wide receivers look really weak....

Kevin Was A Fast Speedy Guy And Not We Loose Him For About Half Of The Season Because Of This Injury. I Am Really Sadden By This But Andy Reid,Jeffrie Lurrie, And Joe Banner Need To Trade a First Round Draft Pick And Sean Considine Or Kris Wilson To Them. Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:39:56 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/309774 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/309774 Our first 1,000 yard receiver since Terrell Owens is out with a sports hernia injury. If we can all recall that Dmac had a sports hernia injury two seasons ago and was out all that season and struggled after his surgery. It is a very serious injury and could really hamper Curtis as he is required to run routes across the middle against some very fierce hitting linebackers at a high rate of speed and let us forget the type of linebackers and safeties our receivers are required to go up against in our very tough division. So here lies the problem... Andy Reid and the front office have been taking intense fire all off season and over the last two seasons that we do not have a true #1 wr option. As an Eagles fan I agree. So now the one wr that we all had hopes for that could actually become a #1 wr is out for possibly a very long time. We all know that Brown has the potential but is too inconsistant with his route running and pass catching ability. Lets face it nobody in the NFL is going to look at our wr's and say we have to put two men on Brown, Avant, Jackson (a rookie but very talented yet undersized), or Baskett. Also today ESPN reported on the very disgruntled Anqaun Boldin who is not on speaking terms with his head coach and feels like the entire organization has lied to him and has lost his trust. He goes on to say that he will not re-sign with the Cardinals he just wants to finish out his contract and get out of Arizona. Then today, the same day that the announcement of Curtis' injury hit the sports headlines, Boldin demands to be traded. I believe that now is the time to avoid some serious scrutiny by fans, and the fact that without a legitimate down field threat by a consistant big aggressive wr like Boldin that our best and brightest hope in midnight green toting #36 on his jersey will become a very big target for defenses because our wr's without Curtis in the mix do not threaten nor scare any defense or defensive coordinator in the NFL. Mr. Reid it is time to pull the trigger!! It time is time to go ahead and avoid a locker room turmoil, and and another Rosenhaus armbarring for a deal. Mr. Reid it is time to offer up Lito and a either our first round pick or the first round pick we got out of Carolina and send it and Lito to Arizona and bring Boldin in to Philly and to put a huge smile on super 5's face and to get that much needed nod of approval by the Eagle Nation fans. http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80a2450d http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp08/news/story?id=3543594 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:28:45 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/309766 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/309766 For those of you who haven't heard, Kevin Curtis is out for what is being described by Andy Reid as "a signficant amount of time."

Another season without a RING!!!!! Dam, Dam, Dam How come we do not pick up a WR now???? What the heck is going on? I hope I am wrong but I do not see us winning the Bowl this year.........

This is a guy who posted a 1000-yard year last year, and a major loss for a team that was poised to be in playoff contention. This comes on top of Reggie Brown being sidelined with a hamstring injury, though that is significantly less severe. Follow the URL to find out the consequences.

Which means he will DEFINITELY be out for the opener against his former team, St. Louis and possibly week two at Dallas. Sal Pal also went on to talk about Boldin, and said that depending on the significance to the injury of Curtis (if its 6 weeks or worse) they will seriously consider making a push for Boldin. Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:36:00 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/309688 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/309688 Philadelphia Eagles' coach Andy Reid announced Wednesday that wideout Kevin Curtis is set to have sports hernia surgery and will be sidelined for an as yet undetermined, but significant, amount of time. Curtis was injured during last Thursday's pre-season game against the Carolina Panthers and tried to practice this week, but struggled mightily. "He tried to work through it but wasn't able to function very well with it during practice, so we decided to go this direction," Reid said. Reid also indicated that he was not interested in bringing in any new wide receivers at this point, which does not bode well for the offense. With Reggie Brown also out, the starters against Friday's pre-season game against the New England Patriots are Desean Jackson in Brown's spot and either Hank Baskett or Greg Lewis playing for Curtis. Brown is still nursing a hamstring injury. The Eagles signed Curtis as a free agent last season. He set career highs with 77 catches for a team-leading 1,110 yards and six touchdowns. Well there goes the offense. Joe Horn anyone?

Looks like we'll see a lot of D-Jack as a starter this season.

I Am Real Happy That DeSean Will Start And He Will Get Better And Better Each Game He Will Play. Kevin Curtis And Reggie Brown Are Injured And That Is Why DeSean Jackson Will Start And Greg Lewis And Hank Baskett Will Switch On The Left And Right Side.

Kevin Curtis Will Have Surgery On It And May Be Out For A While. Kevin Curtis Is Very Important To The Eagles Offense And They Need Him By The Start Of The Season. I Hope Kevin Curtis Heals Up Because He Is A Playmaker And The Eagles Need Him So He May Be Out For A While.

It is a safe bet to predict that one of the more targeted wide receivers in 2008 just won't have the type of year the experts predicted. For example, in 2007 everyone projected future Hall of Fame wide receiver Marvin Harrison to continue his torrid pace and have another 1,200 yard and 10 TD season; however, Harrison battled injuries all season long, causing him to be found in your leagues free agent pool halfway through the season. Heck, even us Bruno Boys are wrong every once in awhile. It's just the nature of the beast! To pinpoint who that wide receiver might be, can be prepared to who will win the Super Bowl in 2008. It's difficult to do, but the Bruno Boys have a general idea of which wide outs might not be as good as advertised in 2008. Also, some of the players listed below might put together solid seasons, but lofty draft day expectations will cause their owners to visit the medicine cabinet and take a swig of their "Pepto" bottle at some point during the season. Now it time to find out who the Bruno Boys have labeled BUST material in the 2008 Wide Receiver Bring Out the Pepto Rankings. To see who the Bruno Boys project to BUST or fall short of projections in 2008 click the link below....
