Pinkston

He’s not listed on the injury report, so we’re going to assume he’s playing this week.

Pinkston should start, but isn’t a viable fantasy starter against the Steelers.

He missed about a quarter of action. With T.O. likely out next week, Pinkston will have a chance for a big game versus the Rams.

Pinkston is not a recommended fantasy starter against the Redskins.

Uh oh. The team sent him for an immediate MRI, which isn’t a good sign. With Terrell Owens out of practice, Greg Lewis and Reggie Brown are now getting first-team snaps.

The team hasn’t revealed results of Pinkston’s MRI yet, but it appears he’s done. Greg Lewis and Reggie Brown were attractive sleepers before this news. Now they are both worth a look in nearly any fantasy league format.

While he’s not the most popular player in Philadelphia, it’s a big loss for the Eagles. The team would rather not rely so heavily on Reggie Brown and Greg Lewis, who have 23 career catches combined.

It could be an ugly end to Pinkston’s stay in Philadelphia. Even if they don’t cut him after the season, Pinkston could be looking up at Greg Lewis and Reggie Brown on the depth chart.

Though expected to start, Pinkston appears undraftable in re-draft leagues at this point. His injuries are lingering and Pinkston shouldn’t see contact work for a while.

Pinkston, who’s struggled to practice with Achilles injuries in camp, is thought to be just as likely to end up on IR as he is to stay in the Eagles’ starting lineup. Undrafted rookie Hank Baskett and Greg Lewis appear the favorites to start opposite Reggie Brown at this point.
