New Eagles WR Arrelious Benn knows he's had a "problem with injuries," and acknowledges he's "got to stay healthy" in 2013.
"I'll be honest with you, I don't like my career" to this point," Benn said. "I got to stay healthy. I haven't stayed healthy. ... And when I was healthy and out there, I made plays, and I was consistent." Benn missed 11 of a possible 48 games with the Bucs, and was rarely 100 percent. He needs to show something in Eagles camp.

Eagles signed WR Arrelious Benn to a one-year contract extension through 2014.
Benn and a 2013 seventh-round pick were acquired from the Bucs in exchange for a 2013 sixth-round pick and a 2014 conditional pick last week. The 24-year-old is signed for just $630,000 in 2013, and he's likely just getting a bump up to the five-year veteran's minimum for 2014. Benn will compete for a roster spot this summer.

Eagles acquired WR Arrelious Benn and a 2013 seventh-round pick from the Buccaneers in exchange for Philadelphia's 2013 sixth-round pick and a 2014 conditional pick.
Bucs GM Mark Dominik didn't get much, but he did do well to get anything at all for Benn, who's been a near-complete bust since Tampa Bay drafted him with the 39th overall pick in 2010. Billed as a chain-moving possession receiver with run-afer-catch ability coming out of Illinois, Benn has been incredibly injury prone en route to just 862 yards and five touchdowns across 37 career games (24 starts). He'll battle for a roster spot in Eagles camp.

The Tampa Bay Times reports the Buccaneers are shopping Arrelious Benn.
A colossal disappointment since the Bucs took him 39th overall in the 2010 draft, Benn has managed 59 catches for 862 yards and five touchdowns across 37 career games, making 24 starts. Tampa Bay would lucky to get back a seventh-round pick, although Benn's $630,000 base salary does figure to help his trade market.

A source tells USA Today that Arrelious Benn (knee, shoulder) could soon land on season-ending injured reserve.
Benn has appeared in just eight games this year due to an MCL sprain and a nagging shoulder issue. Expect the kickoff returner to get replaced on the roster by Giants practice squadder David Douglas shortly.

Arrelious Benn (MCL sprain) is practicing in full this week.
He'll be active against the Panthers, slotting in behind Vincent Jackson, Mike Williams and Preston Parker. Benn will need injuries ahead of him or an unexpected breakout to get back on the fantasy radar.

Arrelious Benn (MCL sprain) has resumed practicing.
According to the Tampa Tribune, Benn looked good in his cuts and route running on Tuesday. After missing the entirety of training camp, Benn will likely open the season last on the depth chart at wide receiver.

Arrelious Benn (MCL sprain) is expected to return to practice within days.
The Bucs haven't ruled Benn out for Week 1 -- assuming he makes the team. However, he's been sidelined since the first day of camp, thus missing a full month of offensive installation in a new offense. He'll also have to get in football shape. Benn is well off the fantasy radar.
