Jeff Garcia - QB - Philadelphia Eagles

The Steelers have reportedly contacted free agent Jeff Garcia about the possibility of signing with the team.

Pittsburgh is dealing with injuries to Ben Roethlisberger (concussion) and Charlie Batch (season-threatening wrist surgery), and will hold a QB tryout on Tuesday. Garcia was on the Eagles' roster earlier this season, appearing in one game. Rather than start Garcia or inexperienced third QB Dennis Dixon, look for the Steelers to push Roethlisberger to play against Baltimore.

Asante Samuel - DB - Philadelphia Eagles

Eagles coach Andy Reid said Asante Samuel suffered a neck strain -- and not a stinger -- during Sunday night's win over the Bears.

Reid didn't sound too concerned about Samuel's availability for this week's game against the Redskins. He said Samuel "felt good" after the game and Monday morning. Expect the Birds' light tackling cover corner to suit up.

Kevin Curtis - WR - Philadelphia Eagles

Kevin Curtis (knee) has been ruled out for Week 12.

Curtis is back in Philadelphia and doing some rehab, but doesn't appear close to returning.

DeSean Jackson - WR - Philadelphia Eagles

DeSean Jackson does not have a catch in the red zone this season.

D-Jax has five touchdown catches, but they're all on long plays. Donovan McNabb has struggled in the red zone and is now looking almost exclusively for Brent Celek and Jason Avant. Still, the lack of red zone production hasn't hurt Jackson as he makes big play after big play. He's a very nice WR2.

Sheldon Brown - DB - Philadelphia Eagles

Sheldon Brown tweaked his slightly torn hamstring during Sunday night's win over the Bears.

Brown had to convince the trainers he could play and then came up a little gimpy after chasing down a long run. He was going to only play in nickel situations, but when Asante Samuel left the game with a stinger Brown sprinted on to the field before the coaches could tell him not to. He'll miss more practice time this week but it's hard to see him sitting out against the Redskins.

Asante Samuel - DB - Philadelphia Eagles

Asante Samuel confirmed that he suffered a stinger during Sunday night's win over the Bears and he will have a precautionary MRI on Monday.

Samuel offered no prognosis on his status for Week 12. Both Eagles corners are banged up but the secondary should hold up fine against the Redskins' weak passing game next week.

DeSean Jackson - WR - Philadelphia Eagles

DeSean Jackson caught eight passes for 107 yards and a touchdown and ran once for 10 yards in the Eagles' Week 11 win over the Bears.

Jackson broke free down the middle, past two Bears defenders, for a 48-yard touchdown in the third quarter. He did lose a fumble, but once again showed top-notch speed and remains a quality WR2 play in any league.
