The Quadrangle

Issue date: 2/2/05 Section: Sports

The Eagles are faced with even more questions, such as will T.O. be healthy enough to play on Superbowl Sunday? How will they replace injured tight-end Chad Lewis who caught two touchdown passes in Philly's win over the Falcons? How will the Eagles practice without being certain of the status of T.O.? Yes there are many questions but Philly has replied by bringing back former Eagles tight-end Jeff Thomason out of his current job as a project manager for a construction company. Even though it's been two years since he's played his last NFL game, he feels he's up for the challenge of playing for the Eagles in such an important game. Speaking of important, that is the main reason that is baiting T.O. into putting his career on the line by risking further injury to the leg that he hurt back in December against the Cowboys in order to try and help the Eagles win the Superbowl. His doctors have told T.O. that it is very risky to attempt to play before his foot is fully healed. Hearing this news has only made T.O. more determined to play. He did so by running on his treadmill as soon as he got home from visiting his doctor, and on Thursday he was able to run across the Eagles practice field. At the rate T.O. is recovering, there will be no way he would miss out on this game.
