Ingram has left knee contusion

Eagles tight end Cornelius Ingram suffered a left knee contusion during practice today. It's the same knee he injured (torn ACL) prior to last season, causing him to miss his senior campaign. The team said he is expected to return to practice tomorrow.

Ingram was running a seam pattern down the middle and got tangled up with safety Rashad Baker on a throw from Adam DiMichele. The fifth round draft pick hobbled to the sideline, was checked out by the trainers and limped unassisted into the NovaCare complex, thus ending his workout for the day.

In other news, the Eagles signed defensive tackle Trevor Jenkins to a rookie free agent deal. Undrafted out of Middle Tennessee St., the 6-foot-1, 287-pound Jenkins was at the post-draft minicamp as an unsigned player.

Hopefully this is as minor as they are reporting. I've been hearing a lot of good things so far about him.

Sounds minor. With it being the same knee as his torn ACL, you want to play it safe, especially with his potential. This guy could be a HUGE pickup for the Birds. Tons of sleeper potential.

Bob Brookover, left, is in his seventh year of covering the Philadelphia Eagles after spending 15 years covering the Philadelphia Phillies for the Inquirer and two other newspapers. The 45-year-old Brookover lives in Delran with his wife Francine and roots for Notre Dame and Michigan State, the two schools attended by his children, Justine and Ryan. When Notre Dame plays Michigan State, he cheers for the school of the child he likes more at that particular moment.

Jeff McLane, right, joined the Eagles beat in April 2009 after two years of covering colleges, namely Penn State football. Before that he covered high school sports for The Inquirer. Before that he worked in the mailroom (not quite). Informed that his father is no longer covering the Lions, McLane's eldest, three-year-old son said, "You mean Simba, Scar and Mufasa, Daddy?" His two-year-old son -- excited about the move to the Eagles -- said, "Go, Deigo, Go!" or something like that. His wife of five-plus years, however, had a different take on the new job. "Another five years is in question," she said. Check out McLane on Twitter and Facebook for instant updates on the Eagles.
