Random Eagles Information Still Not Worthy of a New Thread

...(Mike)Patterson underwent surgery in January, and the Eagles were convinced he'd be healed by training camp, after six months of rehab. Head trainer Rick Burkholder revealed to reporters Sunday evening, however, that Patterson is not recovered and will not participate in training camp.

As relayed by Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Patterson has been placed on the non-football injury list with "no timetable for return." Burkholder stated Sunday that the organization believed Patterson would be healed by now, "but he's not," and "it could be a couple months" before he's ready to play football.

If Patterson fails to receive medical clearance before Week One, the Eagles could place him on reserve/NFI, costing Patterson the first six regular season games. They could reevaluate his recovery after that point. For now, it looks like Patterson won't be ready for the start of the season.

Maybe it will give Cox more time to play and he'll turn out to be a stud, and Patterson's brain injury will turn out to be a stroke of luck.

Hopefully Cox is up for the challenge and doesn't let offensive lineman blow him off the los.

Less Patt, more Cox

The Philadelphia Eagles announced Sunday that they have traded cornerback D.J. Johnson to the Indianapolis Colts, in exchange for defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu (pictured).

Ogbu, an undersized pass-rushing tackle, went undrafted out of Penn State last year and was signed by the Colts as a rookie free agent. A practice squad-caliber prospect, Ogbu will struggle to make the Eagles' 53-man roster.

The 26-year-old Johnson has been bouncing around the league since going undrafted out of Jackson State in 2009. He's spent time with the Eagles, Giants, Vikings, Buccaneers, and taterskins. So this will be Johnson's sixth team.

Johnson has a better chance to make his new team's roster than Ogbu because the Colts are very weak at cornerback and Johnson has some playing experience.

Look test?

Looks like he's trying to hide the fact that he wet himself, so no.

The punters were Brad Maynard, who has played for the Giants, Texans and Browns; Mat McBriar, a former Cowboys standout; Chris Bryan, who played in Tampa Bay; and Jason Baker, who played for six teams, including the Eagles.

LaCanfora says Visanthe Shiancoe is visiting tomorrow.

That would be a huge signing.

[Seabiscuit36]

I still think of Shiancoe sucking on the giants

[hbionic]

That was a long time ago.

[Seabiscuit36]

And he still sucks

[hbionic]

That's largely unlikely.

McBriar was awesome for many years in Dallas.  Think he's coming off an injury last season and may be done.  Too bad.
