Scouts Inc.: Who will step up in Curtis' absence?
ESPN.com - NFL Nation Blog — ... Posted by Scouts Inc.'s Jeremy Green Wide receiver Kevin Curtis' sports hernia surgery is going to affect the Philadelphia Eagles in a big way. Any time a team loses a starting receiver, it is never a good thing, but in the Eagles' case it is even worse because they were trying to upgrade their receiving corps prior to Curtis' injury. During the offseason they tried to acquire a No. 1 receiver to help take pressure off Curtis and WR Reggie Brown, who are better suited as No. 2 receivers. Their attempts went ...

Joe Horn: Eagles fans, he’s NOT the answer
Footballguys Blog — ... Kevin Curtis, the Eagles unquestioned WR1 and a top-20 fantasy prospect, was diagnosed with a sports hernia (suffered last Thursday) and is undergoing surgery. Estimates put him out 4 to 6 weeks. I’m skeptical of that time frame. We’ve seen Donovan McNabb and L.J. Smith take longer than expected to recover from sports hernias, so color me skeptical that Curtis will be back on the field at full strength before Week 8 (October 26th) following the team’s bye week. ...

I’ve written here several times, most notably here and here, that the Eagles need to acquire a #1 receiver, give Donovan McNabb one last chance, and if it doesn’t work out, start from scratch. At the risk of being repetitive, the last time Donovan McNabb had a #1 ...
