Jeremy Maclin left Monday afternoon’s practice early with cramps, according to the Eagles. Fellow wide receiver Jamel Hamler exited with a hamstring injury, but otherwise it was a quiet day on the injury front.
We did learn that Brent Celek (knee), Trent Cole (A.C. – shoulder) and Nate Allen (hamstring) are not all the way back. Cole and Celek both took part in individual drills, but all three ended up on the side with the rest of the rehabbing players doing some conditioning work.
The Eagles have released their depth chart for Thursday night’s preseason opener against the Steelers.
Not a lot of surprises, but here are some notes.
Marty Mornhinweg never has a reason to walk over to the field where the defense practices.
As the Eagles assistant head coach/offensive coordinator, his job is to work with Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy and the rest of the team’s talented playmakers.
But for obvious reasons, this morning was different.
Players shared their first-hand perspectives of the heart-wrenching events that unfolded at Lehigh University on Sunday, providing details about Garrett Reid the man, and the day that he died.
Jason Kelce said they could see the ambulances rushing to Sayre Park dormitories Sunday morning – the first sign for them that something was wrong.
“When I first saw it going to Building C I thought it was one of the coaches, but then we found at it was Garrett,” said Kelce.“When they first told me had passed I didn’t think it was real. You kind of get that feeling like, this guy’s been misinformed; that can’t be right.”

Howie Roseman made the stroll from the Varsity House to his car. The black BMW SUV was parked in its usual spot next to the practice fields at Lehigh.
It was a couple minutes shy of 2:30 p.m., and the Eagles were getting ready to begin their regularly-scheduled afternoon practice. Roseman grabbed his sunglasses and his camouflage hat. He sprayed on some sunblock and returned to the walkway where the players were filtering out. He greeted Jason Avant, put his arm around DeSean Jackson and made his way to the practice field.
Less than seven hours earlier, Roseman was the man who had to deliver the news to the public: Garrett Reid, Andy’s oldest son, had been found dead at the age of 29. Tragedy had struck the Reid family, and the Eagles’ family.
But practice would still go on.
The Eagles will hold their scheduled 2:45 practice this afternoon. Tragic news came down Sunday morning when it announced that Andy Reid‘s oldest son, Garrett, […]
Michael Vick and others took to Twitter to react to the death of Garrett Reid, son of Eagles head coach Andy Reid. Here’s a roundup.

Each morning during training camp, we’ll be bringing you the Eagles Wake-up Call with links and notes from Lehigh. Today, a former scout with high praise for first-round pick Fletcher Cox. Plus, where DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin rank on the list of the NFL’s top receiving duos.
