Eagles coach Andy Reid admitted that DT Mike Patterson (PUP, brain surgery) will be out for quite a while and potentially the entire season. Patterson underwent January surgery to repair an anteriovenous malformation (AVM) and was given a six-month timetable for a return. He's clearly not back to full health, however, and doesn't figure to contribute this season. The Eagles have said the injury is not career-threatening, but, considering the delicate nature of his situation, only time will tell.
