Osi Umenyiora Injury Update: Eagles Likley to Dodge Osi-Sized Bullet in Week 3

The Philadelphia Eagles' offensive line is having a hard time stopping the pass-rush. That is always a problem when facing its next opponent, the New York Giants.

The Giants' defensive line is among the best in football. That is the bad news for the Eagles. The good news is that it does not look like Osi Umenyiora will be ready to play for this contest.

The New York Daily News' Ralph Vacchiano tweeted the news:

"Don't count on Osi Umenyiora playing Sunday. There's a chance, but source said it's unlikely. Game in Arizona on Oct. 2 is more likely."

Umenyiora is a tough matchup for any offensive line, let alone one struggling as badly as the Eagles.

The Eagles allowed three sacks in their Week 1 victory over the Rams. They didn't give up any on Sunday night vs. the Falcons, but they allowed way too much pressure to be applied to their QBs, and it resulted in Mike Kafka finishing the game at QB for the Eagles.

Just because Umenyiora is out doesn't mean the Eagles can rest easy. The Giants' defensive line is still loaded. It still has Justin Tuck wreaking havoc from all positions. Tuck had 1.5 sacks yesterday night against the Rams.
