PHILADELPHIA - Fletcher Cox is exercising his right to remain silent.
The Philadelphia Eagles' Pro Bowl defensive lineman issued a statement through the team's public relations department Tuesday, the first day of mandatory minicamp. Cox skipped the previous month of organized team activities as he and his agent try to work out a long-term contract with the Eagles.
Cox, 25, reported to the NovaCare Complex Monday and was expected on the field for Tuesday's practice session.
