THE EAGLES' battered defense, already nursing injuries to both starting corners, is likely to be without starting nose tackle Bennie Logan on Saturday against Washington, an NFL source said.
Logan has started every Eagles game since taking over for Isaac Sopoaga midway through 2013, Logan's rookie season. That would be 38 successive starts for a man who has been working through an ankle injury in recent weeks, then suffered a calf strain near the end of Sunday's 40-17 loss to Arizona.
Presumably, Beau Allen will start at the nose as the Eagles try to keep their playoff hopes alive, and Brandon Bair will be active for only the fourth time this season.
