It was just 2 short years ago that we crowned the Eagles champions of the free agent world when they brought in Kearse and TO as the final pieces to their Superbowl trophy puzzle.

Between that and the way they choked vs. the Giants it may take a while to recover.

They may have a better o-line than GB, but they are having just as many problems as TB and GB running the ball.

Here hoping it takes them more than 2 weeks to recover! I could use a nice primetime upset special in the city of brotherly love!

looks like the freak pretty much destroyed every part of his knee except the ACL, it looks like he almost lost his career

KEARSE INJURY WORSE THAN REPORTED

FOX's Jay Glazer reports that the knee injury to Eagles defensive end Jevon Kearse is worse than initially reported.

In addition to a torn MCL and two other partially torn knee ligaments, Kearse popped his hamstring tendon, strained his quadriceps tendon, dislocated his kneecap, cracked his tibia, and tore the capsule that hold the entire mess of bone and ligament and muscle together.

The partially torn knee ligaments are the PCL and the LCL.

As we've previously reported, Kearse did not tear his ACL. He busted everything but the ACL, but somehow the ACL wasn't torn.

It'll be a long road back for Kearse, even without a torn ACL. And as Glazer said, a little more rotation of the knee might have ended his career. (In fact, we'd never heard of the LCL before Kearse's injury, but a doctor who reads the site told us earlier this week that, if the LCL goes, an athlete's career is pretty much done.) Glazer reports that, despite the overall damage to the knee, Kearse could be back in time for training camp in 2007.

Whether and to what extent Kearse gets back to his old self, however, is something that the Eagles surely will monitor as the Freak's contract gets into the puffed-up back-end years. He's scheduled to earn salaries of $5.2 million in 2007, $6.46 million in 2008, $7.72 million in 2009, $8.98 million in 2010, and $10.24 million in 2011.
