Stacy Andrews to Eagles Update

Eagles' Right guard Shawn Andrew might see a familliar face lining up next to him next season in Philadelphia as the Eagles have signed Andrews' older brother RT Stacy Andrews. Head coach Andy Reid has also discussed the two swapping positions as both brothers can play either position.

The Eagles also hope having big brother around provide a stabilizing presence for his brother, who said he did not report to training camp last summer because he was suffering from depression.

The terms of the contract were not disclosed.

*UPDATE* Andrews has signed a 6-year deal with the Eagles, financial terms still unavailable.

An interesting tidbit of information the Andrews' brothers are only the third set of brothers to play on the same offensive line since 1951, joining Jay and Joel Hilgenberg of the 1993 Saints and Dave and Doug Widell of the Broncos circa 1990-92.
