Linebacker Akeem Jordan didn't practice again Thursday, making it likely that he will miss his second straight game Sunday night.
Jordan suffered a hyperextended knee and bone bruise in the Eagles' 20-16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on November 8. He sat out last week's 31-23 loss to the San Diego Chargers.
With Jordan out last week, defensive coordinator Sean McDermott moved middle linebacker Will Witherspoon to Jordan's weak-side spot, slid Chris Gocong from the strong side to the middle and plugged in rookie Moise Fokou at Gocong's strong-side position.
The moves produced mixed results. Witherspoon, who is more suited for weak side anyway, played well. But Gocong, who hadn't played in the middle since high school, struggled.
