Indianapolis Colts
Wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez may miss 2-6 weeks after picking up an injury against the Jaguars last weekend.

Yesterday we reported that the Eagles had released Hank Baskett, well the Colts have now snapped him up as cover for Gonzalez.

Philadelphia Eagles
Injured quarter back Donovan McNabb has still not been ruled out of playing against the Saints on Sunday.

While McNabb has played with injuries before a broken rib might have quite a detrimental effect on his game!

San Diego Chargers
LaDainian Tomlinson, Nick Hardwick and Louis Vasquez all missed practice on Thursday after picking up injuries against Oakland. This might leave them a little light when they face Baltimore in week 2.

Detroit Lions
Sad news that former coach Monte Clark has passed away. Clark led them to the play-offs twice. He was 72.

NFL News Round-up Wednesday 16th Sep

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles have promoted Michael Vick on to the 53 man roster. This now enables him to practice with the full team. This now means that he is available to play against Kansas on the 27th. Wide receiver Hank Baskett was released to make room on the roster.

Kansas City Chiefs

It is still not known if Matt Cassel will be able to play on Sunday when the Chiefs welcome Oakland. They have however signed a new wide receiver in the shape of Bobby Wade. Turk McBride has been released to make way for Wade.

Eagles Receivers… also some Kendra

So Hank Baskett (which is a great name, by the way) and Kendra Wilkinson are due to get married in just two weeks’ time. I think we can all agree this is a happy time for the pair.

The lovely Kendra Wilkinson

Kendra likes to drive them balls...

Hank goes into pre-season essentially competing for a roster spot at the Eagles. In a similar situation, but presumably not going home to a Playmate, is Reggie Brown who also goes into the pre-season watching his back and needing to be fighting fit at minicamp.

It’s unlikely that losing either one will make a huge difference to my predictions but personally I’d like to see the Eagles with as few weapons as possible. It has been pointed out that Hank would be a cheaper option than Reggie… if that becomes a factor.

But, I hear you say, surely this article is a thinly-veiled premise to post Kendra pics… well, maybe.
