Evan Mathis - G - Eagles

Eagles LG Evan Mathis is likely out until training camp after undergoing ankle surgery.

The surgery is described as "minor," and was done to address "swelling and discomfort" in Mathis' ankle. Former first-round bust Danny Watkins is expected to see first-team reps at OTAs opposite RG Todd Herremans. Injuries sapped the life from the Eagles' offensive line last season, with Mathis as the lone healthy member. They'll hope he returns 100 percent for the start of camp.

Evan Mathis - G - Eagles

Beat writer Rueben Frank calls LG Evan Mathis the Eagles' offensive MVP from 2012.

Mathis turned out to be one of the few free-agent signings the Eagles have gotten right recently. Re-signed to a five-year, $25 million deal last March, he started every game in 2012 and graded out as the best guard in the NFL. Mathis is a lock to get his $1 million roster bonus on March 24.

Evan Mathis - G - Eagles

Eagles LG Evan Mathis will require offseason ankle surgery.

The routine surgery will remove bone chips from Mathis' ankle, and is considered "nothing serious." Mathis, the Eagles' lone starting offensive lineman who stayed remotely healthy in 2012, wound up grading out as a top-three guard by Pro Football Focus. Mathis' left guard job will be very safe in 2013 on a $2 million salary. He'll also collect a $1 million roster bonus.

Evan Mathis - G - Eagles

Eagles LG Evan Mathis injured his ankle in Thursday night's game against the Bengals and is doubtful to return.

Mathis initially hurt the ankle early in the second half and got a re-tape before returning, but with the Eagles down big late in the game, they likely won't push him back out there. Danny Watkins will finish the contest at left guard.

Eagles LG Evan Mathis is dealing with vertigo, sources tell the Wilmington New Journal.

Mathis has been out of practice since Wednesday. The problem started with an ear infection and then progressed to dizziness and balance issues. He's tentatively expected to be "on the tail end" of the issue and should be back at practice soon. Dallas Reynolds has been picking up first-team reps at left guard.

Evan Mathis - G - Eagles

Eagles re-signed LG Evan Mathis to a five-year, $25 million contract.

The deal includes $7 million guaranteed. Mathis was drawing strong interest on the open market after Carl Nicks and Ben Grubbs got scooped up early, but will return to where he played under a one-year deal in 2011. Signed as a backup last summer, Mathis ended up thriving in OL coach Howard Mudd's system, and graded out as the league's No. 1 guard by Pro Football Focus. The Eagles re-signed RT Todd Herremans to a three-year, $21 million deal earlier in the week. Every member of the Eagles' offensive line is now signed through at least 2014.

Evan Mathis - G - Eagles

After receiving a "nice" offer from the Ravens, free agent OG Evan Mathis is flying back to Arizona to "think about it" and discuss with his family.

The Eagles are "very much in it," says thesidelineview.com's Adam Caplan. "Stay tuned." Discussions are ongoing with both clubs, which could result in a bidding war for the best guard left on the market.

Evan Mathis - G - Eagles

GM Howie Roseman says the Eagles remain in "constant communication" with free agent OG Evan Mathis.

Mathis has drawn interest from as many as four teams, but sounds like he might give the Eagles a chance to match any offer. With Carl Nicks and Ben Grubbs both off the market, Mathis is by far the best remaining free agent guard.

Evan Mathis - G - Eagles

Free agent OG Evan Mathis will reportedly visit the Ravens.

The Eagles are now in danger of losing Mathis. The Ravens are in the market for a starter with Ben Grubbs still in New Orleans. Mathis would approximate Grubbs' production at a fraction of the cost.

Evan Mathis - G - Eagles

Profootballtalk.com reports free agent LG Evan Mathis has drawn "early interest" from the Bucs and Colts.

Mathis is on the record as hoping to re-sign with the Eagles, but Todd Herremans' three-year, $21 million extension could complicate his chances of remaining in the City of Brotherly Love. Mathis couldn't negotiate with the Eagles until the start of free agency because he played under a "minimum salary benefit" contract in 2011. He graded out as the league's top left guard by Pro Football Focus last season, and could prove to be an excellent low-cost alternative to fellow free agent OGs Carl Nicks and Ben Grubbs.

Evan Mathis - G - Eagles

Free agent LG Evan Mathis hopes to re-sign with the Eagles.

"I'd like to return," Mathis said. "I do get the impression that they want me back." Mathis has hinted he's willing to give the Eagles a slight "hometown discount," but can't negotiate before the start of free agency since he played under a "minimum salary benefit" contract in 2011. The third best guard on the market behind Carl Nicks and Ben Grubbs, there will be competition for his services.

Evan Mathis - G - Eagles

Eagles GM Howie Roseman confirmed at the Combine that the team cannot re-sign free agent OG Evan Mathis or DT Derek Landri until the market officially opens on March 13.

Like Laurent Robinson and Jordan Babineaux, Mathis and Landri both played for the "minimum salary benefit" in 2011 and therefore must make it to the market unsigned per NFL policy. The Eagles want to re-sign both players, but their chances are decreased by the rule. Mathis, 30, is coming off a dominant season. He's the No. 3 guard on the market behind Carl Nicks and Ben Grubbs.
