Ellis Hobbs Likely Done for Season After Scary Hit

Filed under: Eagles, NFC East, NFL Injuries

The helmet-to-helmet hit by the Giants' Dave Tollefson that knocked out Ellis Hobbs Sunday has apparently also ended Hobbs' season.

CSNPhilly reported that Hobbs will miss the rest of the season with a neck injury he sustained in the collision. The hit came on the opening kickoff of the second half of Philadelphia's win over the Giants.

This will be the second consecutive year where a neck injury has ended Hobbs' season early. Last year he missed the final eight games and needed surgery to repair an injured disk. According to Eagles' coach Andy Reid, Hobbs has another damaged disc, but it's not the same one he injured last year.
