    After multiple back surgeries, and having not played an NFL game in two seasons, Eagles offensive lineman Shawn Andrews' future is very much in question. But he said in a radio interview last month that he owes Reid and the city of Philadelphia. "When I came out to LA after my back issue, I had to look coach Reid in the eye and tell him I owe him," Andrews said. "It’s bigger than football with me right now. If nothing else, I just wish that I could get just one more season just so I can pay coach Reid and just prove to the fans that I still have it, I still want to be a part of this organization. And for coach Reid sticking by me with my situation in 2008, and I definitely owe the city of Philadelphia so hopefully lord willing, I can get back to 100 percent and get to mashing people again." Andrews said he'll first have to go through a six-month rehab process, which would ideally put him in position to be ready for training camp.

    The jury is still out if he will ever even be the same. I wonder if the Eagles brass has moved on and are just waiting to release him come training camp.

    Man, dude was a freaking monster before he got hurt. May have been the second best Interior OL in the NFL after Hutchinson.

    Just goes to show how suddenly it can go away

    Yeah i totally agree with you but a back injury can really heck you up! I actually wonder if he still has those same skills or if his career is totally done!

    Its a shame how he went from Pro-Bowler to someone everyone in the city considers a cry-baby now

    His next home will probably involve padded rooms.
