Does anyone know if the guys on the IR are allowed to practice with the team? Were Gocong or Bloom allowed to run actual plays with the rest of the team during the year? I realize that they probably did a lot of studying and a lot of work to stay in shape, but being on the field is where they will really learn.

I believe they can use the facilities and staff for rehab purposes. They can do physical training and they can study films on their own. I don't believe they can do any training with the team under any conditions nor can they have any direct training by the staff. In the cases of Bloom and Gocong the Eagles had a very good idea of what they can do. They believed for obvious reasons that coming from their backgrounds and making the transitions that each of them had, it was best to give them a year to observe, study and build up into KR/WR and OLB shape respectively. Both are very bright, very motivated, top performers so stashing them with exaggerated injuries seemed a good plan.

They can't practice with the team that is about the only restriction. But, for instance Jeremy Bloom could catch balls from the Juggs machine etc. That will get him better prepared for next seasonWere from Philly F in Philly no one likes us we DON'T CARE!
