Eagles cornerback Ellis Hobbs is done for the season and will have neck surgery, coach Andy Reid said.

Reid didn't know the particulars of the surgery, but he said that it wasn't likely career-threatening. Hobbs injured his spine in the loss to Dallas on Sunday night.

The team signed corneback Ramzee Robinson, who last played for Detroit, Reid said. Quintin Demps would be next in line to replace Hobbs in returning punts, but he currently is recovering from an ankle sprain. Reid said that Macho Harris and Jeremy Maclin would be candidates to replace Hobbs if Demps can't go Sunday.

To add insult to injury:

According to a statement from his attorney, Eagles cornerback Joselio Hanson was suspensded for four games by the NFL for testing positive for a diuretic.

The statement by attorney David Cornwell said Hanson felt "bloated" after eating Chinese food before last year's NFC championship game against the Arizona Cardinals and he took a pill "that turned out to be a diuretic."

"The urine specimen that Joselio provided after the game tested positive for a diuretic," Cornwell said. "Joselio did not use steroids or any other substance that would enhance his performance."

The Eagles still have not even acknowledged Hanson's suspension.

According to the web site mayoclinic.com, diuretics are typically used for weight loss and eating disorders as well as treating hypertension and glaucoma. The site also said that the drugs can be used as masking agents for steroid use.

tough for Philly... not looking good.

Obviously Hanson was roiding... just seeing if he can get out of the consequences.
