LB Jeremiah Trotter, who re-signed with the Eagles three weeks ago after being out of football for a year, had a rough day against the Raiders. In the first quarter, he bit on a play-action fake by quarterback JaMarcus Russell and got beat on a crossing route by tight end Zach Miller, who took the pass 86 yards for a touchdown. Then, late in the fourth quarter, with the Eagles trailing by four and needing to stop the Raiders to get the ball back, Trotter couldn't stay with fullback Gary Russell, who caught a pass in the flat and gained 13 yards for a game-clinching first down. "He had some good plays and then he had a couple of plays he would like to have back," said coach Andy Reid of the 32-year-old Trotter. "He did a couple of good things in there too." 10/19/2009

Trotter is back with the Philadelphia Eagles after a year away from the NFL.
