Lito a no go

We interrupt this Super Bowl dream with an unfortunate announcement: As speculated, Eagles cornerback Lito Sheppard will be unavailable for Saturday night's showdown in New Orleans with a dislocated right elbow.

William James will fly into action in the absence of Sheppard, while Rod Hood and Joselio Hanson will see increased roles in the secondary.

Hood replaced Sheppard on Sunday after the corner went down in the fourth quarter versus the Giants.
