--CB Rod Hood (rib) should be able to return to play against the Rams on Dec. 7.

--CB Ralph Brown started in place of the injured Rod Hood, which was a surprise. Eric Green had been the backup but he has been struggling in recent weeks.

--OLB Clark Haggans is expected to return for the Rams game after missing two games because of a sprained foot. Haggans is a backup but he is one of the team's best pass rushers.

--RB Edgerrin James didn't play a snap in Philadelphia for the second time this season. Rookie Tim Hightower, who has assumed the starting job, had just seven yards on seven carries.

--WR Anquan Boldin played what he called his worst NFL game in Philadelphia. Boldin dropped two passes, including a touchdown pass, and lost a fumble.

REPORT CARD VS. EAGLES

PASSING OFFENSE: D -- Kurt Warner was intercepted three times and receiver Anquan Boldin dropped two passes and fumbled twice, losing one. The Eagles controlled Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald.

RUSHING OFFENSE F -- The Cardinals tried to run early but had no yards after four attempts. Rookie Tim Hightower is struggling and needs to put his head down and gain tough yards. Edgerrin James didn't play.

PASS DEFENSE: F -- The Eagles had four touchdown passes and quarterback Donovan McNabb was rarely pressured.

RUSH DEFENSE: F -- The Eagles aren't a rushing team but they gained 185 yards against the Cardinals. Brian Westbrook had huge holes to run through and the Cardinals' front was dominated.

SPECIAL TEAMS: C- -- No big plays but no huge gaffes, either. Punter Dirk continues to struggle and punt returner Steve Breaston hasn't broken a big one this season.

COACHING: F -- The Cardinals didn't look like they were mentally ready to play. Whatever the Eagles tried, worked. They had an excellent game plan against the Cardinals.
