Like A Mofo Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Big loss for the Eagles. Reid: Lewis' season over Philly.com Staff Report NFC Championship game hero Chad Lewis will be a spectator at Super Bowl XXXIX. The Eagles' tight end broke his foot on his second touchdown catch of yesterday's game, coach Andy Reid said at his Monday press conference, and is done for the season. Mike Bartrum becomes the second string tight end, but Reid said the team would be looking to see if it can sign another one. Also on the inbjur front, Reid was uncertain on the status of Terrell Owens. "It's still up in the air with T.O.," Reid said. "We'll let you know when we have an idea. He still needs to be tested by Rick [burkholder, the team trainer]. He hasn't run yet, though he was jumping around a lot [on the sidelines Sunday]." Redi said Owens was confident he would be back, but there was significant hurdles to be cleared. Reid credited the players, coordinators and the fans. "That was a loud, initimidating atmosphere and they kept it up for four quarters," Reid said. "That was amazing." Reid said he was glad to have two weeks before the Super Bowl, and looked forward to playing the Patriots, 41-27 winners Sunday night. It'll be a challenge," he said. "They are the best and have been the best for the last few years. You wouldn't want it any other way." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 That stinks for them. The tandem of Lewis and LJ was "scary good" as one Stuart Scott would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a good thing going with both Lewis and LJ Smith, too. Smith is a good TE, but the tandem was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sen. John Blutarsky Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I wonder if he hurt himself when he tried to celebrate as he got up. He rolled over backwards and got his foot stuck underneath himself. It couldn't have been the play because he was never hit. After he caught the ball he did a backwards somersault, jumped around and then looked down and limped off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How cool would that be?! Sit home all year and get a phone call a week before the superbowl that they want you to play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
