Hate seeing players get injured, but it looks like the Eagles game got a little easier. We might be able to get the run game going again next week.

The Eagles will not have inside linebacker Kiko Alonso or defensive lineman Cedric Thornton this week, coach Bill Davis said, and there's an "outside chance" Mychal Kendricks could return.
Alonso has a partial tear of his anterior cruciate ligament, according to a league source. The Eagles are trying to figure out how to proceed.
"Kiko is still in the evaluation process," Davis said. "We’re crossing our fingers and hoping everything turns out the best. We’re unsure about him, but this week I don’t expect him to play."
Kendricks has a hamstring injury and is "day-to-day," according to Davis.
"Hard for him to get back, but he has a shot of doing it," Davis said.
DeMeco Ryans and Jordan Hicks are the top options at inside linebacker. The Eagles re-signed Najee Goode to help supply depth, and Brad Jones will take more snaps at inside linebacker with Marcus Smith back healthy at outside linebacker. The Eagles will play more dime defense as a result of Alonso's absence.
Thornton has a broken bone in his hand. Davis said Thornton will be out "a week or so."
The Eagles have Vinny Curry, Taylor Hart and Brandon Bair as options at Thornton's spot. The coaching staff is high on Hart, who Davis praised on Tuesday as a technically sound player.
Hart was not practicing on Tuesday. Defensive lineman Fletcher Cox and safety Jerome Couplin were practicing on Tuesday, either. Seyi Ajirotutu is back after missing last week with a concussion.
