Player Notes

October 6, 2008
David Akers is having issues from long-range as he has missed nine straight field goal attempts from 45 or more yards, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. Coach Andy Reid still has faith in the veteran kicker, though. Reid stated, "David's going to make a lot more of those than he's going to miss. Down the stretch here, he'll be fine."

September 30, 2008
Eagles coach Andy Reid says kicker David Akers' job is not in jeopardy and he still has confidence in him, despite Akers' two misses Sunday, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. "He needs to make those kicks, but I do feel that way ... I think the leg strength [is still there]. You can see it on his kickoffs. He's kicking the ball off as well as he ever has."

September 21, 2007
David Akers is battling a sore quad, though the Eagles reported him as having a full practice Thursday, according to the team's official site.

January 5, 2007
David Akers will be reunited with Koy Detmer, his old holder, when the playoffs get under way this weekend. The Eagles felt that punter Dirk Johnson, who held on placement kicks during the regular season, may have been partially responsible for Akers's shaky year.

November 7, 2005
The Eagles signed David Akers to a contract extension that will take him through the 2010 season, according to the Sports Network. Akers is currently ranked fifth on the NFL's all-time career field goal accuracy list.
