Sheppard could step in for Samuel: Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel left Saturday morning's practice with a strained hamstring. Samuel was hurt while working in seven-on-seven drills during the team's first practice in full pads this summer. If Samuel is out for an extended period, the Eagles have depth at the position. Two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Lito Sheppard, who lost his left cornerback spot to Samuel and wanted a trade, would step in. (Updated 07/26/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
This might actually lower Sheppard's Fantasy value. Sure, he'll be the main man at corner for the Eagles, but teams were going to avoid throwing at Samuel and that meant more balls Sheppard's way. Now, teams will avoid Sheppard. It's not like it would make that big a difference, and Samuel might not be out that long, anyway. Consider Sheppard a low-end No. 2 DB in IDP leagues. (Updated 07/26/2008).
CB Lito Sheppard showed up on time to the team's training camp despite being unhappy with his contract and place on the team. Asante Samuel was signed during the offseason to be a starter on one side, and the oft-injured Sheppard is expected to compete with Sheldon Brown for the other starting spot. Sheppard would be the favorite to win the job, but has missed 15 games over the past three seasons. The Eagles reportedly looked for a trade before the draft with no success. 07/25/2008
