O-LINE DIRT

King Dunlap, the 6-8, 310-pound rookie, has a pretty good shot to make the 53-man roster. The seventh-round pick out of Auburn has gotten progressively better since his first minicamp, which was an adventur. The similarly built Tra Thomas (6-7, 335) has been a big influence. Thomas has played the best of all Eagles linemen at this camp.

The not so good news is LG Todd Herremans, who's had a very solid camp, seems to be experiencing stiffness in the left knee he had 'scoped last season. A tough guy, Herremans didn't miss a game due to the injury last season. The loss of Herremans - who projects as an emergency OT - would mean Winston Justice at LOT or ROT should Thomas or Jon Runyan get hurt. If AWOL RG Shawn Andrews returns, he could swing to OT.
