Bad news for Victor Abiamiri

Abiamiri Injures Wrist
Inside the Iggles | A Philadelphia Eagles Blog —
... Reid said that the wrist will require surgery, and VA will likely miss most of training camp.
This is very bad news, because the Eagles had very big expectations for Abiamiri this year. Jim Johnson has been going out of his way to praise Abiamiri, and there was a shot he could have even been a starter. This really sets his progress back, and right now we should just hope that he will be available for the regular season.

How about fullback?
The Eagles will have a new fullback taking some of the reps with the first team offense today at practice. His name is Tony Hunt, the team's third round draft pick in 2007. Hunt has ...
Tony Hunt, starting fullback?
All Things Philly Sports —
... But what about at fullback? According to PhiladelphiaEagles.com, Hunt will be practicing with the first team offense today as a fullback. With neither Jed Collins nor Jason Davis stepping up and grabbing the starting fullback spot, it makes sense for the Eagles to give Hunt a shot at it. At 6 foot 1 and 227 pounds, Hunt is lighter than a normal fullback, but if he bulks up a bit he could thrive in the role. ...
