Philadelphia Eagles safety Brian Dawkins expects to play against St.Louis in week 1 after straining his ankle in the second quarter against the Patriots Friday.  He was able to make it off the field on his own but with a noticeable limp.  Dawkins had an MRI Saturday which revealed a strained right tendon and didn’t practice Sunday.  But when asked if Dawkins would be ready for week 1 coach Andy Reid said: “I believe so. It’s really a day-to-day situation right now.” 

    Also scheduled to be ready by week 1 is Reggie Brown with a sore hamstring.  Coach Reid gave no update on Kevin Curtis who is out indefinately after having surgery for sports hernia.
