Patterson Update Monday, Agent Says

POSTED: Friday, August 12, 2011, 2:29 PM

Les Bowen, Daily News Staff Writer

Agent J.R. Rickert said today that there will be an announcement on the status of Eagles defensive tackle Mike Patterson on Monday. Rickert said the upshot is, Patterson won't be sidelined very long with what the team has said is a brain AVM, a tangle of blood vessels that triggered a scary on field seizure at training camp Aug. 3. Rickert said that though surgery has not been ruled out for the man who has played more games as an Eagle than anyone on the current roster (95), Rickert feels playing in the season opener is "definitely a possibility" for Patterson, who turns 28 next month.

Mike Patterson was born in 1983. He'll only be 28 years old in September. He's also under contract for several more years. He's got a lot of good football left in him especially considering the way the Eagles like to rotate D-linemen. Please make correction.
