The Eagles answered the question of who their emergency long snapper is on Sunday. The coaching staff prepares for contingencies at every position, but the loss of both the long snapper and the emergency long snapper during a game is not usually a concern.
In the Eagles' 27-22 loss to the Washington Redskins, long snapper Jon Dorenbos left with a wrist injury in the third quarter and Brent Celek left with a stinger in the fourth after taking Dorenbos' duties. Trey Burton and Mychal Kendricks both practiced their snaps on the sideline, with Burton snapping on a fourth-quarter field goal.
