It seems as if the first day conditioning test led to a few … "injuries".
Today's morning session of practice consisted of the team's conditioning test. Some who participated in the test were not able to have a go at it during the aftenoon practice. Shawn Andrews (back spasms), Trevor Laws (hamstring), Jason Peters (quad spasms) and Asante Samuel (hamstring) all sat out the afternoon session.
This can likely be explained by one of two scenarios – either some of these guys are having their proverbial "golden ticket" punched (also known as the get out of jail free card), or the fellas need to load up on Gatorade, bananas and/or pedialyte to prevent the muscle strains and spasms. Either way, the Eagles will need today's non-participants on the practice field as soon as possible.
Stay tuned for more updates.
