Eagles DE Kearse on the mend
Written by: Bob Glauber ¦ 3/14/2007
Eagles defensive end Jevon Kearse suffered what some team officials feared was a career-ending injury in Week 2 against the Giants last season. Kearse tore three of his four ligaments, all but the anterior cruciate ligament. And he suffered cartiliage damage and a severe bone bruise as well.
But Kearse is doing exceptionally well in his rehab, and there is little doubt he’ll return next season. Maybe not in time for mini-camp, but team sources tell me he’ll be ready to go at the start of training camp. Kearse said before last season he’d hoped to break the NFL sack record, and he had 3 ½ sacks in his first two games before being hurt.
