Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Ellis Hobbs left the field on a stretcher with a neck injury after taking a hit to the helmet on the second-half kickoff return against the New York Giants on Sunday night.
Ellis Hobbs’ Neck Injury Will Reportedly End His 2010 Season
Derrick Gunn of CSN Philly reports that Hobbs will be out for the remainders of the season because of the injury. Presumably the Eagles will soon place him on injured reserve. Hobbs didn’t speak to the media following the game except for three words: “I’ll be back.“That may be the case, but it apparently won’t be this year. After the game Andy Reid spoke and it sounded as if Hobbs would be OK.
X-rays following the game were negative so we’re hoping he’s going to be OK in the long-term.
