Stacy Andrews, Cornelius Ingram, Marlin Jackson. The Eagles really do have a strange fascination for players with damaged knees as of late. Torn ACLs aren’t as catastrophic as they once were, but I’d still rather have a guy with healthy ligaments.
The Birds brain trust doesn’t seem to share my sentiments. Here are five other dudes with bum knees under consideration.
5 – Johnny Utah

If one of the three current signal callers ends up getting traded, my spies tell me Utah is at the top of the list to fill the void. After nearly 20 years in the FBI, the former Buckeye is eager to return to the gridiron.
4 – Tracy McGrady
Microfracture surgery ain’t no big thing. TMac seems fine a year removed from going under the knife. He’ll make a a great red zone target, especially after Ingram tears his ACL again in training camp.
3 -Sully Sullivan

If you’ve seen the movie Nobody’s Fool, then you know ol’ Sully brings feisty to the table. He might be 70 (and dead), but that won’t stop Reid and Co. from bringing the crafty vet aboard.
2 – Phil Elliot

Think Kevin Curtis, except better hands. Phil has been waiting by the phone since his untimely release from the North Dallas Bulls in 1979. An added bonus: he’s not afraid to take a needle.
1 – Mad Max

Sure, his kneecap was shredded by a shotgun blast, but he’s got a metal brace, so he’s good to go. He’d make an ideal in the box safety. Just don’t ask him to cover anyone.
