PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Injuries and a suspension will force the Philadelphia Eagles to use several players in different roles against the San Diego Chargers.
Strongside linebacker Chris Gocong moves to the middle, while middle linebacker Will Witherspoon moves to the weakside. Rookie Moise Fokou will start for the second straight game on the strongside Sunday because of a knee injury to starter Akeem Jordan.
Seldom-used and oft-injured cornerback Dimitri Patterson will be the nickel back in place of injured Ellis Hobbs (out for the season with neck injury) and suspended Joselio Hanson (four games for use of banned substance).
Second-year Quintin Demps replaces Hobbs as the primary kickoff returner for the 5-3 Eagles.
