Andy Reid Week Quotations

He's going to work like crazy to get back, but it's going to take a little bit of time. We'll take it week by week.

It's going to take him a few weeks now to get right. He'll get back. He's determined to get back.

He will have surgery on the sports hernia within a week or so and most likely is out for the season. He's had two opinions and both opinions said he needed the surgery.

He has a pretty substantial thigh contusion. There is quite a bit of swelling and bleeding in there. He is going to at least miss this week and we will see how things go down the road.

He did a nice job for it being his first time getting a number of reps. There are some things he can continue to work on in the run game, getting to know how we do things up front. He ran hard, played hard and did some nice things that you probably wouldn't expect him to do after just playing two weeks here.

He is going to most likely miss this week and we will see how it heals up.

There were some good things and some bad things in this game. We're going to take both and learn from them and get ourselves ready for this weekend when San Francisco comes here.

This should heal up. It may take six to nine weeks to get right.

I can't answer that. I don't know. Is it going to bug him here for a little bit? It probably will. Will the bye week help? It probably will.

I'm sure everybody has their opinion on him. Obviously there are some guys that like him and guys that didn't like him. He doesn't get into that. Every week people try to taunt him.

They're just not right yet. We will give them this next week and see how they do. Tra has been cleared to play, so that is a positive and he did practice. He practiced very hard. He will work through it next week and we will see how he does.

It's an unfortunate setback for Jerome. It's a shame because he's worked extremely hard over the past several weeks to return to the practice field. After today's events, that obviously won't happen any time soon. We wish him all the best in his recovery from this surgery.

(Owens) doesn't let all that (talk) bother him. Every week people try to taunt him. He just plays. He doesn't talk out there and all that kind of stuff.

We'll see as the week goes on. I'll evaluate it and see what we want to do with it.

I said last week we haven't done anything yet and we're in the same mode now.

Is it going to bug him here for a little bit? ... Yes, probably. Will the bye week (after the Dallas game) help? Probably. But I can't tell you that this far in advance. Donovan's a pretty straightforward guy. Certain guys, you can talk to about (injuries) and they will tell you what's up and if they can go or not go. Donovan's one of those guys.
