The Eagles' defensive line was incomplete for the last two months while Fletcher Cox took advantage of the "voluntary" part of voluntary workouts. But Cox is back in Philadelphia this week for the team's mandatory minicamp that begins Tuesday, and his presence changes the outlook at the position.
Cox will join Bennie Logan in the middle of the Eagles defense. Logan, a third-round pick in 2013, has started at nose tackle for the last three seasons. The Eagles' scheme change will have a major effect on Logan, who must transition from occupying blockers while lining up over the center to turning into a penetrating tackle.
