Philadelphia Eagles left tackle Jason Peters will miss tonight

Peters missed all of last season with an injury to his right Achilles and now he’s dealing with another issue in the same leg after he suffered a mild right hamstring strain whne training camp first opened, and has battled that throughout camp.
And while the Steelers don’t play the redskins until Monday night, the left knee injury that kept Steelers rookie running back Le’Veon Bell out of the lineup last week vs. the Giants has again become an issue. Bell’s left knee flared up during practice today, and it’s unclear how serious the injury is.
