When Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox will return to the field is still up in the air, but he says he is a good position.
Cox had offseason foot surgery and hasn't participated in any team practices. The last few days he has raised even more eyebrows because he wasn't working out on the side, something that injured players usually do. It made many wonder if there was a setback that caused him to not be on the field. but he made clear that isn't the case.
Via NBCSports:
“I’m in a good position,” Cox said. “Following the plan, man. We came up with a plan months ago to get me where I need to be and right now everything is playing out good. No setbacks. I’m feeling pretty good.”
The Eagles kick off their season in less than a month against the Washington Redskins, and Cox wasn't ready to speculate if he will be ready to play in that game.
“In the position I’m in, there’s no reason to get the itch to get back out there (too quickly),” he said. “I felt that way since I had the surgery. I’m going to take my time and get healthy and do whatever (the trainers) want me to do, and that’s what I’m doing.”
Cox said that he only needs a week of practice to be ready to play in a regular season game so it could still be a couple of weeks before we know for sure if he will be out with his teammates or watching the game from the sideline.
