Eagles LB Keenan Clayton (hernia surgery) has reported to camp healthy. Clayton underwent the surgery in late May, so it wasn't a given he'd be ready. With DeMeco Ryans and Mychal Kendricks now in tow in Philadelphia, Clayton will need a strong camp and preseason to hold his roster spot.

Eagles LB Keenan Clayton underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a sports hernia. The recovery timetable for sports hernia surgeries can vary greatly.

The Philadelphia Inquirer believes Eagles LB Keenan Clayton may have "one last summer to make a positive impression." Expected to get "more of an opportunity" last season, Clayton instead saw all of four snaps on defense. With the Eagles in the process of revamping their linebacker corps, Clayton will need to turn in an extremely strong preseason to be assured of a roster spot.
