Eagles’ wide receiver Todd Pinkston will miss the entire 2005 season due to injury. (Read the Phila. Inquirer story.) I don’t think he’ll be missed at all.
For 2004, Pinkston’s stats looked like this:
Number of receptions: 36
Receiving yards: 676
Average yards per catch: 18.8
Longest reception: 80 yards
Number of touchdowns: 1
Yes, you read that correctly. One freakin’ touchdown. That’s one more touchdown than I had, and I didn’t even play! And I assume you all remember Pinkston’s wimping out on catching a pass against the Redskins back in December (here’s a USA Today story to refresh your memory). These lame stats and overall weak performance lead me to believe that Pinkston won’t be missed. Not at all. Have a nice recovery!
