Welcome to the latest episode of ''Who Wants to be an Eagles Linebacker,'' starring Tracy White, Joe Mays and special guest star Moise Fokou, whose last name thankfully is pronounced exactly the way it's spelled.

Leonard Weaver has a typical brickhouse body for a fullback, blocks with force and appreciates every time he gets a handoff because he knows he won't get many opportunities.

Eagles' Leonard Weaver, right, avoids a diving C.C. Brown on his way to a touchdown on the opening drive of the first quarter.

Have you heard the one about Andy Reid's fullback who almost ran for 100 yards? Actually, it's no joke.

Brian Westbrook will not play in Sundaya s game with the New York Giants, according to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Football was the last thing on P.J. Hill's mind this spring. The newest Eagle was arrested twice on DUI charges, first in Arizona and then in Wisconsin, and he knew that if he was going to pursue an NFL career, he had to make some fundamental changes in his life.

Brian Westbrook has rushed for more than 100 yards 20 times in his career and four of those games have come against the Giants.

With the unsurprising news that Brian Westbrook probably should miss a week or two , attention turns to his back-up, rookie LeSean McCoy.

Unlike previous weeks, it was the defense that hurt the Eagles in terms of penatlies against the Bucs.

Getting a win in Week One is vital, but getting a win in Week One can start a roll that can last deep into the season.

Or, more to the point, will Andy Reid and the Eagles stick with the kid regardless of what's happening Sunday, just to make the point that they stuck with the kid? If Kevin Kolb manages the game well enough and the defense plays as it did against Carolina, it's a moot question.

With all the roster shuffling and injuries in the last few days, we thought we would take a look at the current list of the 53-man roster by position.

Brian Westbrook hasn't played since the NFC Championship Game, and he's already hurt.

Donovan McNabb only had two touchdown passes in the preseason , Brian Westbrook didn't play at all, and all the starting offensive linemen never played a game together.

The extent of the running back's injury was unknown, although he walked off the practice field with Andy Reid .

The Eagles reduced their roster to the opening-day limit Saturday, and to the surprise of many, both quarterback A.J. Feeley and wide receiver Reggie Brown remained on the squad.

Andrews will line up at right tackle, where his most recent "live" work came 6 years ago, at Arkansas.

Through his first mini-camps with the Eagles and the earliest days at Lehigh this year, Eldra Buckley appeared incapable of performing the simplest of his sport's duties: He couldn't catch the football.

Former Chattanooga Moc Eldra Buckley is officially an NFL running back. The Philadelphia Eagles making their final roster cuts on Saturday and the Mocs single season rushing leader made the cut, beating out veteran Loronzo Booker.

Running back Eldra Buckley ran, tackled, and hustled so much wherever he played on the field that the Eagles felt compelled to add him to their 53-man roster on Saturday.
