Eagles’ Pinkston out for season; Buckhalter also hurt
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Todd Pinkston suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in practice Friday and is out for the season.
Pinkston injured his right ankle when he was tripped up on a route down the sideline. He remained down for several minutes before limping to the medical tent. A few hours after the injury, the team said he was out for the year.
“We feel bad from a team standpoint for Todd,” coach Andy Reid said. “He worked very hard this offseason. He was having a heck of a camp, and its a shame this happened.”
The injury is a blow to the Eagles, who aren’t deep at wide receiver. The six-year veteran averaged 18.8 yards per catch, third in the league. Receiver Terrell Owens, who is day-to-day with left groin inflammation, did not practice Friday morning.
“For a guy that doesn’t complain, that works extremely hard and really never receives credit for the things that he does for this team … it’s tough,” quarterback Donovan McNabb said. “We’ve all been injured, but this kind of an injury, with surgery — you never know what can happen afterwards.”
Reid said the team will not look to sign another receiver. “We’re fine,” he said.
Reid said third-year pro Greg Lewis will move into Pinkston’s spot on the first team. Last year, Lewis had 17 receptions for 183 yards in limited action and also caught a touchdown in the Super Bowl.
“Todd is one of the closest friends I have on the team, and I feel bad for him for all the work he’s put in this offseason,” Lewis said. “But injuries take place in this game, and the team has to get in there. Somebody has to step up and make plays.”
