Eagles CB Hobbs will miss Bears game with injury

Tribune News Services

PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles cornerback Ellis Hobbs, who was down on the field for 11 minutes during Sunday night's 27-17 win over the New York Giants, suffered a disc injury in his neck, an MRI revealed Monday, and will be out at least one week.

Coach Andy Reid did not know the severity of the injury, but did say Hobbs, who is also a kick returner, would not play Sunday when the Eagles (7-3) meet the Bears (7-3) at Soldier Field.
Hobbs was injured during the kickoff return to open the second half, when he was involved in a helmet-to-helmet collision with Giants defensive lineman Dave Tollefson.

"Right now, the MRI showed some damage to the disc," Reid said. "Time will tell."

Reid said it was not known if Hobbs would need surgery. Last year, he missed the final nine games with a neck injury that required surgery.
