Cedric Benson showed up on Thursday's injury report with a back issue. Lewis said that "he had a tight back yesterday" and that he should be ready to go Sunday. Chinedum Ndukwe missed Wednesday's and Thursday's practices with a foot injury but should be fine.
However, super-free agency acquisition Antwan Odom is likely out with a shoulder problem that's still yet to be known -- at least publicly. The shoulder problem could range from a "slight sprain to a tear that would require season-ending surgery." I'm anticipating good things from Frostee Rucker, preparing for his third NFL start.
On the Eagles side of the ball, it appears several players got healthier throughout the week; though the Andrews brothers won't get a chance to play in the same game together with Shawn sitting out.
