Sheldon Brown told Bob Brookover of Philly.com that he will be at this weekend's mini camp at the Nova Care complex.
Brown backpedaled on comments that the Eagles wouldn't want him in the locker room with other players. He told Brookover that he has no plans of being a distraction to the football team.
"I didn't become a villain all of a sudden," he said. "I'm a professional. I've been in contact with Troy (Vincent)."
Brown also said he isn't phased by team's acquistion of New England cornerback Ellis Hobbs.
"I've always competed for my job," he said. "That doesn't matter to me. I have respect for Ellis. He's a guy who has played through injuries like me. He tore up his groin and didn't miss any time. He's a hard worker and he's trying to establish himself."
Brown told Paul Domowitch of Philly.com this weekend that he welcomed Hobbs arrival because that might lead to him being traded.
"Over the next few months, if they got an offer, they would be in a position [now] to trade me," he said. "It's a good thing from that perspective. It gives me more hope."
