The Eagles still aren't sure if DT Mike Patterson (brain surgery) will be ready for the start of training camp. Patterson will report to Lehigh on Wednesday and undergo a physical before a decision on his status is made. He's penciled in as a starter in the base defense, but the Eagles figure to play it safe considering the serious nature of his ailment. They're also plenty deep at defensive tackle with Cullen Jenkins, first-rounder Fletcher Cox, Derek Landri and Antonio Dixon.
