Yeah, Right
From the official site:
Tight end L.J. Smith, who went down in Thursday morning's practice yesterday, suffered a groin strain that was unrelated to his sports hernia, but occurred in the same area, according to Reid.
Sound familiar?
Last week, Akers had a strained right hamstring. This week, Akers has a torn right hamstring...
What just happened with Akers should cut through the fog-of-war mind-set that seems to be prevalent at the NovaCare Complex right now. Reid actually tried to sell the idea that Akers' torn hamstring was unrelated to the injury he suffered a week before.
"Well, it's in a different spot," the Eagles coach said. "That is what's different here. It's not the same spot. It's really a different injury in the leg."
ALthough I don't really know why they'd have a reason not to be truthful about this... I have to admit that I can't argue with your skepticism. The Eagles are well known at best as a team that "plays their cards to their chest" and maybe more accurately, "flat out lies all the time"
