No Practice For Dunlap Again

For the second straight day, King Dunlap did not practice for the Eagles because of back spasms that came up during the Wednesday practice. With Jason Peters out this week because of a hamstring injury, Dunlap is slated to start at left tackle if he can play, though he will be listed as questionable according to head coach Andy Reid.

"We'll wait until it calms down and then we'll see if he can play," Reid said of Dunlap. "If not, you'll see the rotation with Todd (Herremans) on the left and (Winston) Justice on the right."

Reid added that starting left guard Evan Mathis would be next in line at tackle after Herremans and Justice. As for Justice, last year's starting right tackle has been recovering from a knee surgery himself and was active for the first time last week against the Bills.

"It seems like every week he's getting a little bit better and getting more comfortable," Reid said of Justice. "He deserves the opportunity to play if (Dunlap is unable to play)."

Reid added that there would be no hesitation in playing Dunlap if he's physically capable of playing even though he missed two days of practice.

"King is a smart kid," Reid said. "I don't think that would be (a problem)."

Elsewhere on the injury front, Trent Cole (Calf) did not practice and is unlikely to play on Sunday.
