Apologetic Cooper rejoins Philadelphia Eagles
PHILADELPHIA When Riley Cooper and Tom Brady are both holding concurrent press conferences and more attention is being paid to Cooper, something is drastically wrong.
Cooper returned to the Eagles for Tuesday practice against the New England Patriots after being excused for four days to undergo sensitivity training after he was caught on film yelling a racial slur before a Kenny Chesney concert.
realize how many people I hurt, how many families I hurt, how many kids I hurt, Cooper said. going to be tough. I going to live with this every day the rest of my life. It one of those things you can let affect your play on the field.
concern wasn how he practiced, Eagles head coach Chip Kelly said after practice. just him with the team itself and to get the chance to make sure he got to talk to every single guy so that they understood how we felt, what he did, and understand that he truly sorry for what he did.
Cooper met with his teammates, facetoface. He apologized to them, but told them he didn need their forgiveness.
talked to everyone individually, Cooper said. told them I don want you to forgive me. That puts the burden on Brandon Marshall Authentic Jersey you. I want it all on me. I apologized. They could tell it was from the heart. They know I not that kind of person. It feels good to have the support of the guys. Eagles players have seemed to put Cooper indiscretions behind them and are ready to get ready for the season.
Some of the fans have as well, at least the group that waited for him after his press conference and asked for autographs and gave him pats on the back of encouragement.
The injury to Benn leaves the Eagles with even more question marks at the receiver positon. Howard Smith/USA Today
After one of his touchdown passes, he got a chest bump from teammate and fellow wide receiver Jason Avant and high fives from several other teammates.
think you guys (the media) need the healing process more than the team, Avant said. guys got to cover it, so you keep going, making the story go, but as far as our team, I think guys are definitely over it and we talked, we had dialogue, we accepted his apology. The only thing he can do is apologize. What else can he do? When a situation happens like that, there are not too many things you can do but apologize and be sincere about it. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie issued the Brandon Marshall Black Jersey following statement.
want to make this clear; the words Riley Cooper used were totally unacceptable. His words may have been directed at one person but they hurt everyone. Riley has apologized to the team and community and has made a personal commitment to work hard to try and gain their trust and earn his position on the team. Some things actually happened during yesterday practice that did not include Cooper.
Brady looked as good as the threetime Super Bowl champion that he is. He carved up the Eagles defense with relative ease.
On his first pass in the 11on11 drills, he threw a touchdown pass to undrafted rookie Kenbrell Thompkins.
Later in practice, the Pats started at the 10yard line and Brady took them 90 yards, completing every pass he threw and climaxing it with a touchdown pass to newlyacquired Danny Amendola against Eagles safety Kenny Phillips.
had a couple of decent pass rushes at times, and a couple of times he picked us clean pretty good, Kelly said of Brady. I think there was some give and take out there. But obviously, one of the challenges against playing this team is you playing against not only one of the top quarterbacks, but one of the top quarterbacks of all time. Eagles cornerback Cary Williams was benched after getting into a skirmish with the Pats secondround draft pick, Aaron Dobson, a wide receiver from Marshall. someone got in extracurriculars they were going to be done for the day. It was one way we made sure that didn continue. That was one thing we agreed upon. We didn want this to turn into a wrestling match. Both of our squads knew before it happened. If you going to get http://www.footballbearsstore.com/29_michael_bush_jersey_authentic_black_limited_cheap.html in a skirmish, you going to sit. Wide receiver Arrelious Benn, acquired in a trade from Tampa Bay during the offseason, suffered a torn ACL during yesterday practice and is likely finished for the season.
He the third Eagles player in less than three full http://www.footballbearsstore.com weeks of training camp to suffer a torn ACL and the second wide receiver. Jeremy Maclin and linebacker Jason Phillips were the first two.
Two other players left practice with injuries and will be evaluated today: wide receiver Damaris Johnson (hamstring) and running back Felix Jones (hamstring).
Two Eagles, running back LeSean McCoy (knee) and center Jason Kelce (knee) were at practice, but did not do the team drills.
Four Eagles remained out of practice: tackle Ed Wang (knee), tackle Jason Peters (hamstring), defensive tackle Antonio Dixon (hamstring) and tackle Dennis Kelly (back).
