Eagles to catch a break with Lewis pending suspension?

If Al Michaels' sources at NFL HQ are to be believed, then the pending suspension of Jamal Lewis as mentioned on MNF last night is good news for the Eagles. According to Michaels, Lewis will plead guilty to lesser charges in his drug trafficking indictment, and spend 4-6 months in jail during the off-season. The league will suspend Lewis after next week's game for between 2-4 weeks which likely means that he will be unavailable to play in the Ravens-Eagles October 31st game. Lewis is the Ravens offense. Forcing shakey QB Kyle Boller to carry the entire load is great news for the Eagles in what could shape up to be an easier game than previously thought.
