The Eagles finished their Tuesday morning practice in pads in front of a raucous crowd with a lot of military personnel in attendance. As practice was winding down, the members of the armed forces in attendance began to line the practice field and were given a standing ovation by the crowd. Then, when practice concluded, the military men and women joined head coach Andy Reid and the rest of the Eagles to break the huddle with a boisterous "USA." The players then stuck around long after practice conversing with and signing autographs for the servicemen and women.

On the field, linebacker Stewart Bradley practiced in pads for the first since Saturday after missing a few practices with hamstring spasms and wide receiver Jordan Norwood practiced after sitting out a few days with a hamstring injury of his own. The team didn't go "live," but they did do a lot of full 11-on-11 thud drills, working a lot on the three-wide and nickel personnel.
