Sheppard is inactive

Apparently, Half Lito was half a Lito short. Lito Sheppard is among the inactives for today's game against the Jets, along with Brian Dawkins, Greg Lewis, Kimo von Oelhoffen, Pago Togafau, Victor Abiamiri and Scott Young.

So Brian Westbrook, L.J. Smith, William Thomas and Todd Herremans are all playing today.

This game has the feel of a must-win for the Birds. The Jets are weak, and if Philadelphia can't take care of business today, then a lot of people will be off the bandwagon permanently.
