In his widely-read Monday Morning Quarterback Column, SI.com’s Peter King named Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie his ‘Goat of the Week’ and suggested a six-figure fine could be coming after the Eagles cornerback launched himself at Byron Leftwich Thursday night.

Had a chance to catch up with Jason Babin on Sunday.The defensive end has been out since late July with a calf strain that was expected to sideline him for 2-3 weeks. We are now in that window, and it sounds like Babin is getting close to a return.

“I know when I’m 100 percent. I’m pretty in-tune with my body. Keep this progress up and I’m sure it will be sooner than later,” said Babin

Each morning during training camp, we’ll be bringing you the Eagles Wake-up Call with links and notes from Lehigh. Today, we cover the Birds’ competition at right tackle between Demetress Bell and King Dunlap, expectations for DeSean Jackson and everything you might have missed over the weekend.

Jeremy Maclin lined up to Michael Vick’s left at the 10-yard-line.

He ran a slant to the 5-yard-line, stopped, changed direction and headed to the back left corner of the end zone. Vick let go of the ball, Maclin made the catch and kept his feet in-bounds for the touchdown.

But wide receivers coach David Culley saw something he didn’t like. He wanted Maclin to make sure he sold the slant with his final steps inside. Maclin did it again later, and this time, Culley approved.

Jaiquawn Jarrett is in jeopardy of falling further on the depth chart.

After a rocky game against the Steelers on Thursday, the former second-round pick saw some of his second-team reps go to the unheralded Tom Nelson Sunday afternoon. When he was drafted, many envisioned the Temple product challenging for a starting spot right away. Now, he’s working with the third unit and fighting for a roster spot.

To date, Mychal Kendricks’ transition to the pros has been about as smooth as you can ask for. The Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year out of Cal was plucked by the Eagles with the 46^th overall pick in April’s draft, and immediately plugged in as the starting strongside linebacker. He stood out above all others at rookie camp, and kept that positive momentum rolling into the OTA’s and eventually training camp.

He looks comfortable, and it was no different Thursday night during his first taste of NFL action.

Wide receiver Plaxico Burress could be headed to the New England Patriots, and former Eagle Jamaal Jackson recently had a tryout with the Dallas Cowboys.

We’ve written quite a bit in this space about the Eagles’ defensive line depth, and specifically the decisions the coaches are going to face at defensive end.

Here are the players in the mix: Jason Babin, Trent Cole, Brandon Graham, Vinny Curry, Phillip Hunt and Darryl Tapp.

Of that group, Babin, Cole, Graham and Curry are locks to make the roster. If the Birds keep six defensive ends (a high number, especially considering Cullen Jenkins and Fletcher Cox can play outside), Hunt and Tapp could both make the team.

But more likely, one of them will be cut, or possibly traded.

Andy’s Reid‘s agent stirred things up Saturday with his comments to reporters suggesting the head coach can keep his job as long as Jeffrey Lurie is in power.

Lurie quickly released a statement to separate himself from that notion. And on Sunday, Reid tried to do the same.

“I don’t get into any of that,” Reid said per Reuben Frank of CSN Philly. “I’m a one-day-at-a-time kind of guy, one year, one play, the whole deal. So that’s not how I operate. I don’t worry about all that.”

Bob LaMonte, agent for Andy Reid and many other coaches and executives around the league, stopped by Eagles training camp Saturday afternoon.

Tim has a story up with LaMonte’s comments about Reid’s future, along with Jeffrey Lurie’s ensuing response.

Here are some of the other things LaMonte had to say.

Nick Foles had a chance to run with the second-team Saturday. A look at how he fared. Also, Jeffrey Lurie and super-agent Bob LaMonte have a back-and-forth on the security level of Andy Reid; and there’s a new left tackle in town.

Damaris Johnson was lined up one-on-one with Brandon Hughes and had a step on the cornerback down the left sideline.

Michael Vick let go of the football, but before it arrived, Hughes made contact with Johnson, broke up the pass and landed on the 5-foot-8 wide receiver.

Johnson grimaced and was slow to get up. You could almost see him consider staying down for a moment, but instead, he fought through the initial pain and jogged towards the sideline.

If you are of the belief that Andy Reid needs to have a standout year in order to secure his future in Philadelphia, you might not want to hear what Reid’s agent had to say on the subject.

Speaking to a small group of reporters at Lehigh Saturday, Bob LaMonte said that owner Jeffrey Lurie has given him every indication that Reid is the Eagles coach for as long as he wants the gig. Or at least as long as Lurie is calling the shots.

“He has stated again and again any time that I’ve been with him, that as long as he was the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, Andy Reid would be his head coach,” said LaMonte. “I would say the proof is in the pudding; he’s been here for 14 years.”

From Brandon Graham to Phillip Hunt to Vinny Curry, here’s a review of the Eagles’ defensive linemen after having re-watched Thursday night’s game against the Steelers.

The terms of Jeffrey Lurie‘s divorce settlement ensures he will retain full control over the Eagles, per Albert Breer of the NFL Network.

According to Breer, the New York Post report suggesting Christina Lurie would receive a “sizeable chunk” of the team was overstated.
