James Casey News

Eagles tight end James Casey underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on his right knee earlier this week and will miss the remainder of organized team activities.

It's a good thing the Eagles have been stocking up on tight ends, because they are going to be down one for the next few weeks.

THE MUSIC Howie Roseman was happiest to hear from the Eagles' practice field this spring wasn't Nicki Minaj, Lupe Fiasco or even the Lumineers.

We're all excited to see what Chip Kelly will bring to Philadelphia, to see what he can do with one of the most athletic O-lines in the league, and to see how he plans to utilize all of the explosive talent the Eagles have at the skill positions.

Chip Kelly has been open about his desire for versatile players, a trait sought by many coaches.

At the conclusion of the Eagles' Academy for Men Sunday, at the indoor NovaCare field, participants' parting gifts included a posterized version of that amazing, reach-back onehanded catch Jason Avant made on the sideline Dec.

Tight end Clay Harbor and wide receiver Jason Avant have both spent time at different positions during practice this week, examples of coach Chip Kelly's emphasis on versatility and perhaps a way to add value to two players who are not guaranteed to make the final roster.

Of all the starters left over from the Andy Reid regime, Brent Celek might have reason to fret the most in Chip Kelly's first offseason of player acquisition.

The Eagles are amid their first organized team activities this week, and they will practice throughout the next four weeks.

Little morsels of information have been leaking out of the NovaCare Complex since Chip Kelly held his first practices with the Eagles last month, all of which were closed to the media.

Butler spent the past six seasons with the Texans. He was on injured reserve all of 2012 with a triceps injury, and he played in just two games in 2011 because of an elbow injury.

With his first draft in the books as an NFL head coach, Chip Kelly should initially be happy with the results.

Tight end Phillip Supernaw, a local product from Katy Taylor High School, is looking to make a push for a roster spot in his second season with the Texans.

Chip Kelly is always in attack mode, loathe to pass up an opportunity to go for the opponent's jugular.

It almost goes without saying that safety has been a position of need for the Philadelphia Eagles since Brian Dawkins was allowed to waltz his way to Denver via free agency in 2009.

We know that head coach Chip Kelly is bringing a brand new offense to Philadelphia in 2013.

Todd Herremans doesn't watch the NFL Draft. He never does, at least not since he was selected in the fourth round out of Saginaw Valley State in 2005.

When you stare at the Eagles depth chart, tight end appears to be the least of the team's depth problems.

No one knew what to expect from Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly in his first NFL draft.

There's a lot to get excited about if you're a Philadelphia Eagles fans these days.
