Eagles Injury Update: Brandon Boykin Cleared to Practice

Elsa

The Eagles received some good news on Thursday. Slot cornerback and kick returner Brandon Boykin has been cleared to return to action after a concussion he suffered in the Eagles' 48-30 loss to the Vikings last Sunday.

Boykin's injury occurred on an unsightly play during a kick return. Boykin landed on his head after being tackled during the return and was on the ground for several minutes before being helped off the field. Boykin sat out of practice entirely on Tuesday and Wednesday. He is expected to be a full participant in Thursday's practice.

A report earlier in the week by Howard Eskin indicated Boykin's return this week was likely. The Eagles' second year CB furthered this notion on a Wednesday night radio appearance on 94 WIP.

It's good to see Boykin healthy. The Eagles face a tough challenge when they take on a very talented Chicago receiving threat on Sunday Night Football.
