Eagles OL Jean-Gilles Carted Off Field

POSTED: 3:02 am EST November 28, 2008

(Sports Network) - Eagles offensive lineman Max Jean-Gilles will need surgery to repair a fractured right ankle after being carted off the field in the second quarter of Philadelphia's 48-20 thumping of the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night.

Jean-Gilles was blocking on a run by Donovan McNabb with 12 seconds remaining in the half when Arizona defensive lineman Chike Okeafor rolled the back of the lineman's right leg while diving for a stop of McNabb.

Head coach Andy Reid said after the game that he could have the surgery as early as Friday.

A third-year pro out of Georgia, Jean-Gilles has filled in admirably for Philadelphia starter Shawn Andrews this season, starting nine games while appearing in the Eagles' other two contests. Andrews has missed Philadelphia's last nine games nursing a back injury.
