The last action Todd Pinkston saw in a game was in the Superbowl. Remember that? The Eagles, not too long ago, were in the Superbowl. Tomorrow night the Birds will go up against the defending Superbowl champs in a preseason tune up. It will likely be the last action any of the starters will see before the start of the season.There has been talk of Pinkston possibly not even making the team due to his nagging achilles injuries. Friday night will be a very pivotal game for Pinky and the Eagles receiving corp.
Other noteworthy news: Brodrick Bunkley, the Eagles stud first rounder, will get the start. Correll Buckhalter, starting at running back, will also get his shot to show he belongs on the Eagles roster.
Friday will also bring back fan favorite Duce Staley to South Philly. An NFL.com report says there is a good chance that Duce will get released by the Steelers and discusses the Eagles propensity to bring back former stars on their last leg.
Pittsburgh's depth at the position makes it possible for it to deal Staley. Yet if Staley is sent packing from Pittsburgh either through a trade or a release, one possible landing spot would seem to be the Philadelphia Eagles who, to date, have not had any trade conversations with the Steelers. Should Staley be released, and it is within the realm of possibility, the Eagles could be on the list of teams interested in his serviceDuce was an integral part of the Eagles for years, but at this point does he have anything left?
