For the second consecutive week, the Eagles will go with a different look at linebacker because of a knee injury to weakside starter Akeem Jordan. Coach Andy Reid ruled out Jordan for Sunday night's game at Chicago. Will Witherspoon will again start at weakside LB, and second-year man Joe Mays will start in the middle.
Eagles Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Linebacker Akeem Jordan didn't practice again Thursday, making it likely that he will miss his second straight game Sunday night.
Jordan suffered a hyperextended knee and bone bruise in the Eagles' 20-16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on November 8. He sat out last week's 31-23 loss to the San Diego Chargers.
With Jordan out last week, defensive coordinator Sean McDermott moved middle linebacker Will Witherspoon to Jordan's weak-side spot, slid Chris Gocong from the strong side to the middle and plugged in rookie Moise Fokou at Gocong's strong-side position.
The moves produced mixed results. Witherspoon, who is more suited for weak side anyway, played well. But Gocong, who hadn't played in the middle since high school, struggled.
