PFT reports Iggles lose DE McDougle for season

BOTH MCDOUGLE BROTHERS OUT FOR SEASON by Michael David Smith

In a cruel twist of fate, NFL brothers Stockar and Jerome McDougle both sustained season-ending injuries on Monday.

Stockar, a guard and tackle for the Jaguars, suffered a ruptured left Achilles tendon during practice Monday night. The Jaguars confirmed the severity of the injury yesterday.

Stockar was the Lions' first-round pick in 2000, and he played five years in Detroit before spending 2005 in Miami and 2006 in Jacksonville.

Jerome, a defensive end for the Eagles, suffered a right triceps injury during Philadelphia's preseason game Monday night in Baltimore. The Eagles said today that he's expected to miss the season.

Jerome was the Eagles' first-round pick in 2003, and he's had a star-crossed career. He was shot just before training camp started in 2005 and missed the entire 2005 season and the start of the 2006 season as a result. He also missed portions of his rookie year with knee, ankle and hip injuries, and portions of his second year with a knee injury and an irregular heartbeat.

I just hope our team can keep away from the injury bug.

 

[AtlCB]

Yikes! The Eagles are getting hit hard by injuries.

Whats the latest on L.J. Smith ?

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Didn't Moats break his ankle, too?

Or at least, that was the speculation.

Or at least, that was the speculation.

Philadelphia running back Ryan Moats was taken off the field on a stretcher in the third quarter of the Eagles' 29-3 preseason loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday.
He was running towards the right sideline when his right ankle got caught underneath a tackler. Moats laid on the field for several minutes before being wheeled off on a stretcher.

The injury is listed as a fractured right ankle.

Whats the latest on L.J. Smith ?

Didn't hear it myself, but my son told me that he heard on ESPN that his career may be over. Just hearsay. If he ripped open that hernia thing, it may very well be a long time before he heals enough to play.

Hate to see injuries, but i don't think the eagles were counting on Mcdougle this year anyway. I think he would be categorized as a major bust.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I never want guys to get hurt but I am also not shedding any tears over the Iggle injuries.

Then again, when I thought they were finished last year, Gaycia took them to a division championship

 

[InmanRoshi]

Not a big loss for them. He was probably going to be released anyway

 

[Blue&Silver]

Tough break for Jerome and Moats. Both guys would have been cut within the next few weeks, so it just might have been a lucky break for them. They'll collect another year of paychecks and watch the rest of their team play, much like the last few years.

 

[Stash]

Have to ask ol' Phoenix Talon if McDougle was part of this year's "Philadelphia Sack Exchange"........

 

[HopeCowboyFan]

Sports hernia injuries are indeed career threatening if chronic problems like LJ has.

 

[Big Dakota]

Man are they being hit hard. Thanks for the info guys.

All true, both were going to be cut anyway. The L.J. Smith injury isn't too bad for them either as they have some depth at tight end.

Now, the Shawn Andrews injury, that one is big for them. He played really well last year.

Oh well, sorry about the lose, I don't like to see any player hurt but it happens.
