With two preseason games down and two to go, Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb said they were worried about the scourge of injuries that have crippled the Eagles' ability to prepare for a season now just 23 days away. Following Thursday night's 23-15 loss to the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium, Reid admitted that because of injuries he wouldn't have as good an idea as he would like about his 2009 team when it lined up for the Sept. 13 season opener against the Carolina Panthers. "In certain spots, yes," Reid said. "They haven't played together, and I've told you I'm worried about that. That bothers me. We have to get guys back and get them into practice so they can work a little bit together." "It all starts up front," McNabb said, referring to the offensive line. "That was kind of our big deal in the off-season with our acquisitions . . . and when you don't have those guys ever since the first day of training camp, you kind of worry a little bit."
