Getty ImagesThe Eagles have lost their second player for the season, in the first week of training camp.
According to Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News, the Eagles confirmed that linebacker Jason Phillips suffered a torn right ACL.
Phillips, signed from Carolina this offseason as a free agent, was carted off during this morning’s practice.
He joins wide receiver Jeremy Maclin on the out-for-the-year list, making the Eagles the unluckiest team in the league so far.
Chip Kelly’s fast paced system is obviously too much for this roster…
Wow every time we hav a good team bad things happen sad
Sheesh. And they haven’t even started tackling yet.
The strength and conditioning coach in Philly should be opening his locker real cautiously.
Chipper this isn’t college ball where you have 100 players on the team and can say next player up. Way to run this team into the ground.

When was the last time you had one of those?
Wow If this keeps going on in the league, we might have to import players from CFL……
Phillips was be counted on for special teams more than anything, but you still don’t want to see a guy get hurt.
All Philly teams are cursed with the injury bug
LOL!!!
Even if every defensive player on the Eagles got torn ACL’s, they would still be better than the Packer’s defense
So Chip, how’s that fast paced practice workin’ out for you in the NFL?
Meanwhile, the only team in Penn worth talking about is getting better (if that’s possible).
Isn’t it ironic that the most injury prone player on that team hasn’t been injured yet… (Michael Vick)
Poor kid got RG3’d . That is now a new medical term. #eagleswerenotgonnawinanyways.
There’s a reason why you rest in between reps/plays… Smh
These eagles torn acls are a result from spinning around too fast to watch the Washington Redskins unstoppable train to go racing on by. I’m sure there are more to come.
Chippie out in 2.5 yrs.
@therealraider,
Maybe they’re still using the Andy Reid conditioning system lol, his teams always had horrible stamina at the end of games.
@yourejealousofnothing,
Real classy going into multiple injury threads and laughing about the injuries. How pathetic and tiny of you. Would expect nothing less from a big fan of the rapist.
Enjoy another 8-8 year and no playoffs again.

I heard that “Dream Team” was supposed to be pretty good…
Look at all the haters and over reacting going on. Calm down people. Jason Phillips was always a non-factor and Maclin can be replaced (See: Damarious Johnson, Jason Avant). Calm down people let the season begin so we can laugh at all these people that think they know the eagles and football in general. The trolls that flood our articles more then our fans think were going to lose? ok… So worried lol
Didn’t the NFL just implement new pads and equipment?? All these fines they keep charging you’d think some of that was being reinvested into better protective gear. SMH
Andy Reid took his ATC with him to Kansas City.
Pat yourself on the back Rick Burkholder.
let’s just call them the Philadelphia bubble boys

Sure you’re not a Philly fan riding the Steelers bandwagon ? That LOL had Philly fan written all over it.
Cmon! THIS IS THE DREAM TEAM BABY!
It’s just so much more funny when an Eagles player says it.
@ bobonmycob
Not a hater but, the Maclin injury is something about which to be concerned. The fact remains the 2013 Eagles are an unknown, so anyone pretends to have certainty about the shape their season will take (I don’t mean you) is just blowing hot air.
ACLs tear way too often and too easily. There has got to be some technology to strengthen these badly designed human parts. Geez
If they keep losing players at this rate, McNabb may have his retirement postponed. Donovan, put the chunky soup down and pick up your helmet.

Like the Chargers have ever done anything except crap themselves in huge moments…and the Dream Team…..way original…maybe you can be Mante’s REAL love interest….
Hate to see people get hurt, glad to see how many disgusting people are on here bagging on guys getting hurt. And I had no idea how obnoxious redskins fans are, I guess sucking for however many years they were bottom of the barrel consecutively will hide a lot of scum
stupid philly fans will blame vick.
Look on the bright side Philly fans…..When Andy comes back to town Wk 3 and beats you, now you can blame the injuries instead of admitting you ran a very good coach out of town!!!!
Might want to get the picture right cuz none of the teams pictured are of the eagles
@respectgsh
Yes, nobody knows how the season will turn out to be. But were not talking about our only QB being injured, our only RB being injured, etc.. We are talking about a WR that we barely had last season due to injury. We have a lot of promising young talent @ WR. Damarious Johnson is an up and coming stud. If anything it gives somebody else a chance to excel. Look at the glass as half full not half empty 😉
guess chip kelly’s special smoothies aren’t as magical as philly fans had hoped.

Dude you can get as strong as an ox, but when an ACL want to go it goes, it isnt a muscle and it doesn’t grow back
Eagles might as well tank for Bridgewater/Boyd.
Two linebackers with ACL gone. Same with the Chargers.
Man, there really are some seriously dumb folks posting here. You do know that Chip’s fast pace is for the OFFENSE right? I mean his DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR is the man who makes the defensive scheme, tempo etc., so blaming Chip really makes you look stupid. Yes, he is the head-coach but you dont bring in coordinators to second guess their plans. While injuries suck, Maclin hasnt lived up to his hype by any means (always getting hurt, going down to avoid contact and has low YAC), and this LB isnt much of a loss either. He would likely be 2nd string or simply special teams if he made the final roster.

Can’t argue there.
The Pirates ARE doing pretty well…

Redskins fans obnoxious? Seriously? Because our current attitude has nothing to do with the fact that any thread concerning our team is flooded with people making jokes about Robert Griffin’s injury. IRG3, RGKnee. Right, we’re the obnoxious ones. Everyone is BEGGING this kid gets injured this upcoming season. And yet none of them are obnoxious, just the Skins fans giving the rest of you sorry excuses for football fans a taste of your own medicine.
Setting up a GMAN sweep.
This was going to be a special teams guy…you plug and play them.
I hope this injury happens to steelers fans.
The idea that these injuries are the result of Kelly’s fast paced practices is laughable.
The gloating on here by ‘skins and steelers fans is disgusting.
Training camp at the Vet this year?
Stop with the stupid comments…shi…happens. Guaranteeded you will see other ACLs/MCLs in other training camps before the presason is over. Its the nature of the beast. Better now than later so you can develop your backup.
I’m not kidding, this ACL injury is like the 300th coming of the bubonic plague.
This has nothing to do with our conditioning or the fast paced practice. Anyone can get hurt at any time if they don’t prepare themselves correctly. It’s terrible to see two of our guys go down in week 1 of camp! It’s feeling like last year all over again! Smh oh well time to soldier on! FLY EAGLES FLY
what a bunch of cry babies! thing happen to the good and bad! it is how a team respond to adversity! people will get hurt in any sport! how a team pulls together is what matters!
Eagles fans are the epitome of the sore loser, big mouth, low life, classless, whiner fan. Give me a break while your looking for sympathy. None here. Its just football. Don’t bother making room for a Lombardi. The Dream Team Dynasty or whatever you want to call yourselves isn’t getting one. And btw if for some lucky reason the stars align and you happen to find your team in contention for a Lombardi, you self righteous fans will be the first to whip out the Dream team Dynasty bs. Deal with it whiners we didn’t make it up your players did!
“Hey Chip, come use Fed Ex Field for your training camp” says Dan Snyder. Well played sir…
#GOHAWKS
While I don’t wish any player to be injured, the fact that the Filthydelphia Iggles are getting hit with injuries does not make a good day bad. It just makes me smile.
