i_am_the_swammi Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 FYI... Victor Abiamiri, the Eagles 2nd-round DE from 2007 who looked phenomenal in pre-season but dislocated his wrist, has practiced all week and will be active this Sunday. With Jucqua Parker questionable and Dan Klecko out of the scheme (moved to full-time fullback), Abiamiri could see significant time in the rotation. Might be a decent pick-up and stash, as his reps should increase dramatically each week. From todays Daily News: Abiamiri's Playing Practice? Are we talkin' 'bout practice? Who needs it? Apparently, not Victor Abiamiri, who returned to the practice field in earnest on Wednesday for the first time since July 29 wrist surgery, and then was identified Thursday by Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson as the newest member of Johnson's defensive tackle rotation for Sunday's game in San Francisco. Abiamiri, who is chiefly a defensive end, will move inside and take some of the reps that normally go to Dan Klecko. Klecko apparently is back to being a fulltime fullback, for the time being, and will only play on defense in an emergency. Johnson said rookie DT Trevor Laws will get more than the 10-12 reps a game he has been averaging. Abiamiri probably will play less than that, as Johnson's defense tries to recover from the physical pounding it took while giving up 203 rushing yards in a 23-17 home loss to the Redskins. Abiamiri will wear a cast to support his wrist, the outside of which is marked with a T-shaped scar. "In the cast, it feels strong, feels solid," he said.

darin3 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I doubt they'll rush him back. Juqua Parker has played well, and Trent Cole is coming on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
