SHARE Eagles CB Sheldon Brown expected to start

Veteran Eagles cornerback Sheldon Brown has not missed a game in his eight-year career, and he’s not going to miss one tonight.

Brown was questionable with a pulled hamstring, and was limited in practice all week, but he’s active for the game and is expected to start. That was good news for Philadelphia.

Tight end Desmond Clark is out with a neck injury, the third game he will miss this season. Clark missed only two games in the previous six seasons.
