Jason Peters - T - Philadelphia Eagles

Eagles LT Jason Peters ruptured his Achilles a second time, setting back his recovery three weeks.
A malfunctioning Roll-A-Bout was to blame. The device broke, which led to Peters falling on his face and re-injuring the Achilles. With his 2012 season already in doubt after suffering the initial injury on March 30, Peters can no longer be relied on for a late-season return. The Eagles signed Demetress Bell to hold down the fort while Peters, arguably the league's top left tackle, recovers. They may have to count on Bell for much longer than originally expected.
