Eagles' Curtis out with sports hernia
(The Phanatic Magazine) Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Kevin will undergo surgery Thursday for a sports hernia.
Curtis suffered the injury during last Friday's preseason game against Carolina and will "be out for a while," according to head coach Andy Reid.
"We're trying to not wait and do that whole thing," Reid said. "We're trying to get on it. We've identified (the hernia) as the problem, and we're trying to get it taken care of."
Reid offered no timetable for Curtis' return but does expect the Utah State product back sometime during the regular season.
Curtis had a career-high 77 receptions for 1,110 yards and six touchdowns last season, his first in Philadelphia after signing as an unrestricted free agent.
Greg Lewis and Hank Baskett are expected to rotate at Curtis' spot during his absence.
