Philadelphia Eagles two-time Pro Bowl guard Shawn Andrews is missing from his team’s training camp. So far he’s racked up $60,000 in fines for being “absent without leave” and his agent, Rich Moran, is not offering any explanation other than he spoke with Shawn this past weekend and that the situation is personal. The Eagles are calling the absence unexcused, hence the fines. Speculation is that it’s some kind of emotional or psychological issue, but no official word has been given yet. How bizarre.

The Dallas Cowboys placed a league-high 12 players on the NFC All-Star team. Among the players selected to the NFC squad was Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor, who died last month. Sean received the most votes at his position and was chosen as the starting free safety for the NFC team. A replacement will be announced at a later date. Eleven NFC players will participate in their first Pro Bowl, including Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Adrian Peterson, who leads the NFC in rushing yards with 1,278.
