FLETCHER COX and Darren Sproles, absent from Eagles drills all spring, took the field Tuesday for the first day of the team's three-day mandatory minicamp, but there was a twist.
Though Eagles coach Doug Pederson said Cox and Sproles would both be limited participants, eased back in to avoid injury, that seemed to be the case only for Cox, who did no team or 7-on-7 work at all, participating only in position drills. Sproles seemed to do everything, including returning punts.
Neither Cox nor Sproles was available during the time reporters were allowed in the locker room.
