Brian Dawkins--injury

[xbird]

I know he missed time last year. Why? Is he expected to be
100% t his year. Thanks.

Just about everyone on the Eagles defense spent some time on IR last year. Dawkins was out for 10 weeks if my memory serves correct. I believe it was a foot or ankle injury, but he returned during the season at full-strength.

Considering after his injury he still had the strength to literally flip someone over his back and piledrive them for a tackle (painful looking enough that the announcers were insisting there had to be some sort of penalty for doing that to a guy), I'd say there's no need to worry about his injury last year haunting him this year.

I drafted him last year as my second defender in an IDP and yeas he got hurt... But hes back at full strength and I expect him to be a decent fantasy performer again assuming the new young gun in the phili secondary, Michael lewis, doesnt steal his thunder...
