"I think he just wants to concentrate on football, he doesn't want to be disrupted by any, I guess, questions on contracts or anything else," Andy Reid said. "He's focused in, and he's in a good place. You saw him out here today, he had one play here where you felt he read the thing the wrong way and he was very angry at himself, so he's ripping and ready to go. He did a great job on his conditioning test. He's in phenomenal shape, so I think he just wants to focus on football. He loves to play, and I think that's where he's at right now, and he's all business right now. And that's a good thing."

As expected, center Jamaal Jackson, defensive end Victor Abiamiri and left guard Todd Herremans began camp on the physically unable to perform list . . . The Eagles changed up the way they do conditioning testing, after experiencing some injuries in those tests the past few years. This year, that took place in OTAs, and yesterday's morning session was devoted to technique and fundamentals.
