Corey Simon of the Philadelphia Eagles injured his neck duringtraining camp today and was taken off the field in an ambulance. Thedefensive tackle was conscious and able to move his arms and legs,team spokesman Derek Boyko said. No further information wasimmediately available. Simon, the No. 6 draft pick last year, was oneof the best defensive rookies last season.
Dale Carter, a free-agent bust with the Denver Broncos in 1999,has failed in his bid to be reinstated to the NFL after a yearlongsubstance-abuse suspension.
The NFL declined comment, but a league source told the RockyMountain News on Wednesday that commissioner Paul Tagliabue refusedto reinstate the veteran cornerback. The reasons for the denial wereunclear, but Carter had been taking part in a supervised monitoringprogram, and those reports were considered key to his reinstatement.Carter can apply for reinstatement at any time, but whether he willdo so remains uncertain. Both Minnesota and Oakland had expressedinterest in the four-time Pro Bowler.
