Birds Being Cautious

While the daily review of who the Eagles walking wounded can certainly be discouraging, it’s important to remember there’s still well over a month before the season opens. The coaching/training staff is taking it easy on guys with injuries big and small.
There’s little to gain from rushing any of these guys back, even with some new personnel around them.
Stewart Bradley is involved in some team activities, but is given time off from others. The Eagles prefer not to push his repaired knee too hard before September.
DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin both have minor injuries that are likely to completely heal with a couple of weeks off. You don’t want to go into the season with a lingering issue. This is the right move.
