Eagles LT Jason Peters (Achilles) was a full participant on the first day of offseason workouts.
Peters has proclaimed himself 100 percent dating back to January, but it's a positive step to see him on the field with no restrictions. Coach Chip Kelly described Peters as "moving around really well," and "looked at home at left tackle." Peters' return is a big first step in fixing Philly's offensive line problems. Apr 16 - 3:17 PM

Eagles LT Jason Peters (Achilles) says he's been 100 percent since January.

The outlook on Peters is rosy. Doctors have told him that his twice-ruptured Achilles' tendon will be at 98 percent strength and he's been fully cleared for the offseason program. Before going down, Peters was the best left tackle in the game. His return, along with C Jason Kelce's from ACL and MCL injuries, will give the Eagles' offensive line a major boost.

Jason Peters - T - Eagles

The Eagles paid LT Jason Peters' (Achilles' surgeries) a $250,000 roster bonus on Monday.

Peters, coming off of two Achilles' tendon tears, remains on pace to receive his $10.4 million base salary. The Eagles only lightly flirted with offensive tackles in free agency, and are tentatively expected to focus on defense with the draft's No. 4 overall pick. The improvement -- or lack thereof -- of Philly's offensive line will largely depend on Peters' ability to bounce back.

The Eagles expect LT Jason Peters (Achilles) to be ready for their April minicamp.

When we last saw Peters in 2011, he was the NFL's best left tackle. Since then, he's ruptured his right Achilles' tendon twice. It's unclear if he'll ever regain his prior All-Pro form, but Peters at 80 percent is better than any other option the Eagles have. His return is a massive boost to the entire offense.

Eagles will not activate LT Jason Peters (Achilles) off PUP, ending his season.

Many point to Peters' offseason Achilles' tendon tears as the domino that got the Eagles' disaster rolling. They understandably could never replace the game's best left tackle and the entire offense fell apart from there. Peters' ability to get back to his old form ahead of 2013 will be well worth monitoring.

Jason Peters - T - Eagles

Eagles coach Andy Reid says "there's a chance" LT Jason Peters (Achilles, PUP) will play this season.

Peters is attempting to return after rupturing his right Achilles' tendon twice over the offseason. "You saw (Terrell) Suggs go through his thing," Reid said. "Now the difference is, Jason has had two of these. I’m not going to put him at risk, that’s not what we’re going to do. We’re going to make sure the doctors are on board, that Jason is on board, and then we go from there. If he’s physically able to be there, that’s OK. But I’m not going to do anything to risk further injury to him." Peters' return would be a big boost, but it's mostly a pipe dream.

Eagles LT Jason Peters (Achilles', PUP) was spotted by reporters Monday going through agility drills "gingerly" with team trainers.

Jeff McLane of the Philly Inquirer observed Peters running "half-speed" at one point. The Eagles have until Week 9 to decide whether to activate Peters from the PUP list, and would get a three-week window from that point to decide whether he's well enough to play in games. Coach Andy Reid recently told reporters that Peters is "not close" to returning. We're not betting on a 2012 comeback.

Jason Peters - T - Eagles

Coach Andy Reid confirmed that LT Jason Peters (Achilles', PUP) still isn't close to a return.

The Eagles' struggling offensive line isn't going to get a miraculous save from Peters. The All-Pro left tackle tore his Achilles' tendon twice during the offseason and hasn't been cleared. The prudent move for him is to simply focus on being 100 percent for 2013 training camp.

The Eagles still haven't ruled Jason Peters (NFI, Achilles') out for the season.

The Eagles are holding out hope that their All-Pro left tackle can make it back this season. They'll evaluate Peters between Weeks 6 and 9, the three-week window when NFI players may resume practicing. "It's a long stretch," coach Andy Reid conceded. "But we haven't ruled him out."

Eagles placed LT Jason Peters (Achilles' tendon) on the reserve/NFI list.

The move makes Peters ineligible for the Eagles' first six games, meaning the earliest he could return is Week 8. It's positive that Peters has avoided injured reserve, but the odds he appears in a game this season are extremely slim. King Dunlap will open the season as the Eagles' starting left tackle.

Jason Peters - T - Eagles

Eagles LT Jason Peters has been placed on the NFI list to open training camp.

The non-football injury list works exactly like PUP. Peters will stay on active/NFI throughout training camp, and be transferred to reserve/NFI when the season starts, costing him the first six regular season games. The Eagles might check on his recovery after that point, but there's little doubt Peters won't play in 2012 after double Achilles' tendon ruptures. We do hope to see him back in 2013.

Jason Peters - T - Eagles

Eagles LT Jason Peters and Ravens OLB/DE Terrell Suggs stand to lose millions of dollars because their Achilles injuries both fall under the "Nonfootball injury" designation.

Both players claim they were injured during off-site training drills, but the contract only covers injuries that occur at the team's facility. The Eagles have already touched base with Peters' representatives about an "amicable" financial reduction. Peters could lose $3.25 million of his $7.9 million base salary.

The Philadelphia Inquirer confirms Eagles LT Jason Peters' career is in danger following his second ruptured Achilles' tendon of the offseason.

"It's going to make the road to recovery that much more difficult," said Phillip Kwong, a foot and ankle surgeon consulted by the Inquirer. "It's not as clear-cut as the first time." According to Kwong, a second tear this close to the first is a "rare phenomenon." Peters, who turned 30 in January, has an almost zero percent chance of taking the field in 2012.

Eagles LT Jason Peters ruptured his Achilles a second time, setting back his recovery three weeks.

A malfunctioning Roll-A-Bout was to blame. The device broke, which led to Peters falling on his face and re-injuring the Achilles. With his 2012 season already in doubt after suffering the initial injury on March 30, Peters can no longer be relied on for a late-season return. The Eagles signed Demetress Bell to hold down the fort while Peters, arguably the league's top left tackle, recovers. They may have to count on Bell for much longer than originally expected.

Jason Peters - T - Eagles

Eagles LT Jason Peters suffered his torn Achilles in a "football drill" on Tuesday.

He'll undergo surgery this Tuesday. "We don't know when he will return to the field and we will not speculate on a timeline," coach Andy Reid said. "We are just going to let the surgical process and the rehabilitation process play itself out." Nearly certain to begin the season on the PUP list, it's a distinct possibility Peters won't take the field in 2012. King Dunlap is the Eagles' top in-house replacement, but they'll host free agent LT Demetrius Bell for a visit this weekend.
