Eagles Lose their Middle Linebacker - Not good !

Stewart Bradley tore his ACL in his knee this week and most likely is lost for the season. This is a blow to an Eagles Defense who earlier this year had lost their on-field leader in Brian Dawkins (to free agency) and recently lost their off-field leader, coach Jim Johnson.

Andy Reid, in typical fashion, is down playing this, but when you lose your starting middle linebacker, whether it's professional football, college or Pop Warner, it's an impact.

Bradley was entering his 3rd year and really came into his own last year, starting all 16 games. The defense can't afford another loss. There are very high expectations of this Eagles team (as usual).

The Bird's havce to stay healthy !
