Ellis Hobbs Done For The Year

UPDATE:  Joselio's out too? 

"@geoffmosher League source just told me CB Joselio Hanson won't be with Eagles for about a month. Jack Ikegwuono has been called up from practice squad."

Now I really, really hope Macho Harris is healthy again.

Yeah, everyone's emailing, tweeting, whatevering about it.  He's done.

I'll link to the PFT item just so I can point out that Hobbs was not, in fact, the team's nickel back.  The role belongs to Joselio Hanson. 

Here from Les Bowen is the replacement:

The Eagles have signed cornerback Ramzee Robinson, who was in this week for a workout. Robinson was a seventh-round pick of the Detroit Lions in 2007. The third-year player from Alabama, appeared in a total of 19 games in 2007 and 2008. He was cut at the end of training camp in September.

Sounds like a stud.

Of course, the biggest hole this leaves (assuming good health from the starting corners the rest of the year) is at the kick return position.  Hobbs didn't have quite the impact at that position that I expected, but that seemed to be due more to the team's ST struggles as a whole.  There were signs of late that he was ready to turn things on.

I guess Demps becomes the guy now, once he gets healthy.  Not blown away by that this year.  I don't really love putting Maclin back there either.  He's got enough to focus on.  I guess that puts me in Macho's camp.
