Jamar Chaney (1 Viewer)

What are the thoughts out there on the prospects of Jamar Chaney.

I've seen good reviews on his talent, but he currently seems to be stuck in a bad situation.

However, with Bradley coming off an ACL injury, and slated to be free agent in 2011, Chaney may get a look.

Can he play the middle and how does his run/pass talent stack up against Bradley and Joe Mays?

Any rumblings out there?

Reports out of minicamp...

The Eagles kicked off their first minicamp post-Donovan McNabb. There was plenty of news so let's get to it ...

INJURIES

-- The following players did not practice today: center Jamaal Jackson (knee), linebacker Omar Gaither (foot), defensive end Vic Abiamiri (knee) and guard Max Jean-Gilles (gastric band surgery).

Eagles coach Andy Reid said as far back as the owners' meetings last month that Abiamiri had knee surgery, but he's been rather evasive about what kind of knee surgery he actually had. It wasn't to repair a torn ACL, Reid said. It wasn't arthroscopic. Reid said that he would get trainer Rick Burkhalter to explain to us the surgery. We're still waiting.

Jean-Gilles had his surgery on Tuesday. He said he weighed almost 400 pounds after the season and finally decided to do something about it. He said he's down to 375 right now and hopes to get to a playing weight of 330. Reid said it was the first time he's ever had a player that had that kind of surgery. Jean-Gilles said that he would be back for OTAs in June.

-- The following players participated in individual drills, but not in team drills: defensive back Marlin Jackson (knee), tight end Cornelius Ingram (knee), cornerback Ellis Hobbs (neck) and rookie safety Nate Allen (quad). Reid said that each of the those players should be able to do more as the spring progresses.

-- Middle linebacker Stew Bradley (knee) was out there for the whole practice and said afterward that he felt fine.

MJG to have gastric band surgery. 400 pounds!?!?

I'm guessing Chaney is depth at best. Should beat out Mays who was underwhelming. I wouldn't be surprised if a good camp by him knocks Gaither off the team as well
