Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Philadelphia wide receiver Kevin Curtis been dealing with swelling in his knee since training camp, a problem that's kept him out of the Eagles' lineup since Week 3. Making the situation worse, though, is that doctors have not been able to determine the cause of Curtis' problem.Head coach Andy Reid said that Curtis has undergone multiple tests and MRIs, which have revealed no structural damage. Curtis finally had his troublesome knee scoped this week -- and beat writer Geoff Mosher of Delaware Online speculates that, not only is Curtis' season likely finished, but his career might be as well.
It's early to call for Curtis to hang 'em up -- especially if his recent surgery also failed to find structural damage -- but the seven-year vet finds himself a bit in the weeds here. Curtis is reportedly due a $1 million roster bonus this offseason, and assuming his knee doesn't progress rapidly and allow him to be a major contributor again, it's hard to imagine a scenario where the Eagles don't release him.
That means that Curtis, at 31 years of age and coming off a potentially season-ending knee injury -- would find himself scrambling to find a team.
In that case, Curtis' career would be in a much more tenuous spot.
Curtis played his first four seasons out of Utah State with the Rams, combining for 100 total catches in 2005-06. His best pro season came in 2007, his first year with Philadelphia, when he hauled in 77 catches for 1,110 yards and six touchdowns. But Curtis played just nine games last year and made it through only two in 2009 before heading to the sidelines.
Prior to the year, Curtis looked like he might be a top-two WR for Philadelphia, but with Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson developing and Jason Avant continuing his solid play, his role had diminished anyway.
