| 02/08/13 | DL | Trent Cole | Hand | Eagles defender Trent Cole told PhillyMag.com that he played last year with a broken bone and torn tendons in his right hand. He had surgery for it during the offseason and should be fine for the start of training camp. As for where Cole will play in 2013, that's still up for debate. The pass rusher has been a lineman but could move to linebacker in Chip Kelly's new 3-4 scheme. He's lost 10 pounds and has been dropping into coverage, something he didn't do a lot of as a lineman. "We don’t know where we’re going to be at right now," said Cole. (Updated 04/18/2013) | |

| 01/25/13 | WR | DeSean Jackson | Ribs | It's only May but the Eagles had DeSean Jackson returning punts during minicamp practice on Monday. It sounds like Jackson's happy about it. "[Coach Chip Kelly] wanted me to be back there and me wanting to be back there myself," said Jackson to Philadelphia Magazine when asked about returning to the spot. "I think last year, being able to have Damaris (Johnson) come in here and take on that role helped me out a lot. But at the end of the day too, I still missed a lot of those opportunities where I was able to do things in the past where if it was a 20-yard run, 50-yard run, whatever ... if it was a touchdown. I mean those were things that helped the offense out, and you really don’t realize it, but they help out a lot." (Updated 05/13/2013) | |
