The Facts: HC Andy Reid mentioned Monday that Curtis is progressing nicely as he recovers from sports hernia surgery, which is good news for the Eagles. Reid is hoping that Curtis could return before the bye week in mid-October.

Diehards Line:Curtis told reporters last week that he is feeling better. He has two incisions about two inches long from his surgery. "He's not going to play this week," Reid said. "But he is doing very well. The month-and-a-half (left on Curtis' injury timetable) takes you to the bye week, so hopefully we can get him back sooner."
