    Source: Eagles' Allen Barbre has high ankle sprain


    The Eagles will be getting updates on their two injured offensive lineman on Monday, and the first piece of news is not good.

    Starting right tackle Allen Barbre, who had to leave the team's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, has suffered a high ankle sprain, sources told Eliot Shorr-Parks of NJ.com.

    The bad news for Barbre might not be done, however, as he is also expected to go see a foot specialist.

    You hate to lose any o-line depth, but I'm much more concerned about Evan Mathis and hoping they were right with initial diagnosis of MCL.

    I was hoping Tobin would win spot filling in for Lane over Barbre and I thought Gardner was better than Barbre when he came in.

      Eagles LG Mathis likely out 4-8 weeks with MCL sprain


      Eagles guard Evan Mathis will be out for an extended period after an MRI revealed an MCL sprain of his right knee on Monday, Jeff McLane of the Phildaelphia Inquirer reports citing an NFL source.

      The sprain isn't Grade 1 and likely Grade 3, which could take anywhere from 4-8 weeks to return from. The Eagles may opt to place Mathis on Injured Reserve-designated to return, which would keep him off the roster for eight weeks. Mathis will get a second opinion on Wednesday.

        Dont know why they call that a sprain -- a grade 3 MCL injury is a full tear of the ligament. I'm assuming 8 weeks until we hear otherwise.

        Still, much better news than an ACL. Hopefully Gardner/Molk/Tobin/Kelly can hold down the fort for the next three weeks until Lane gets back.
