PINKSTON DONE FOR THE YEAR

August 5, 2005
By BOB KENT

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Wide receiver Todd Pinkston will miss the entire season after rupturing his Achilles tendon on a routine play during Friday morning's practice. The injury, coupled with Terrell Owens' groin injury, leaves Donovan McNabb without his two starting receivers.

Owens is day-to-day, but Pinkston will undergo season-ending surgery. The general recovery time, according to head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder, is six months.

Well, we can certainly feel the Eagles' fans pain on this day. Good luck rehabbing to Pinkston.

dang...they are dropping like flies today.

With Stinkston out, who will go over the middle to catch those tough passes?

 

[HardHittin'Witten]

FredEx...no, wait...Harold Carmichael???

The slime birds don't need Stinkston or B.O.! They are still gonna win the SB this year! Just ax them...

"Bring it..."

"Get some..."

"Whatever..."

At least we have some depth at our position of loss.

Eagles are doomed

That video is down right cowardly!! Talk about alligator!!

 

[Kilyin]

That gif is like a summarization of Stinkston's entire career. It's great

 

[Yeagermeister]

Roy made him gun shy

 

[Sportsbabe]

Aaawwww ... too bad.

Maybe the Football gods got us back with the Spears injury, becuase we were just laughing at them!. :iggles: :trophy: :suxiggle: :disseags:

Guys, I know it's the Eagles but lets cross our fingers that this doesn't happen to us. It's hard for me to take pleasure in a flukish type injury.

 

[LarryCanadian]

Watch Owens use this as leverage for trying to get more dough again!

It doesn't look like anyone is making fun of his injury in this thread. They are making fun of his alligator arms as seen in that clip, but not his ruptured achilles. That injury sucks. Too bad for him. I don't think it puts a big dent in the Eagles. They do lose a little depth and a veteran player. Now some younger guys will need to step up, but that doesn't mean a step down for the team.
