Andy Reid said he's leaning toward practicing middle linebacker Stew Bradley at Eagles Flight Night tonight at the Linc.
Though Bradley tore an ACL at the inaugural event last year, it's important he gets back on the horse, if you will. If only for a couple of series.
Defensive tackle Antonio Dixon, who had been having a dominating camp, is out indefinitely with a concussion.
For Flight Night purposes Reid has scratched wide receiver DeSean Jackson (back) and cornerback Asante Samuel, who were cleared to run Thursday and aren’t “too far away” from returning to work.
Also shelved is wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, although the good news is he’s rehabbing an inconsequential bone bruise, not what was originally feared to be a hyper-extended knee.
“I’m blessed and I’m thankful that it didn’t turn out as bad as it could have,” Maclin said. “I’m happy. It is what it is. I wish I was out there competing, but now I can get better and get out there as soon as I can.”
The others who are out are running back Mike Bell (hamstring), safety Victor Harris (hamstring strain), tight Martin Rucker (hamstring) and center A.Q. Shipley (ankle sprain).
Tickets for Flight Night are available at Lincoln Financial Field.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children.
The event will be held rain or shine.
