The Eagles' Flight Night practice

The practice itself wasn't much to write home about from an offensive perspective. None of the 3 offensive units looked particularly in sync, but I'm not sure you can really take all that much out of this practice. I suppose the only real bit of "news" tonight was that injured Eagles Jeremy Maclin, DeSean Jackson, Mike Bell, & Asante Samuel  didn't practice but were all introduced to the crowd and jogged out in the introductions. Maclin jogged gingerly and Bell took it easy,  but Jackson and Samuel looked like they're pretty close to returning.

The Eagles' Flight Night practice is over, no one was hurt, and we all go home happy. It seemed like everyone there had a good time and I'm sure plenty of money was raised for a good cause.

Mike Kafka showed off a surprisingly big arm with a nice 50 yard TD to Jared Perry. Rookie CB Trevard Lindley continued his fine offseason/camp with a couple pass breakups.

For the second day in a row, DeSean Jackson (back) and Asante Samuel (hamstring) made an appearance. OK, so it was on the side field, and they were just jogging at an offensive lineman pace, but at least they were there. It seems the Eagles' two stars are getting close to a return.

As for the actual practice, Kevin Kolb struggled a bit with his accuracy, air mailing a few balls and vocally expressing displeasure with his own performance. The usually low-key starting quarterback showed some fire.

The Eagles worked on special teams, and the first onside kick landed in the hands of ... Hank Baskett! The irony. Baskett, of course, had a game-changing onside kick hit him in the head last season for the Colts in the Super Bowl.

DT Trevor Laws continues to impress. He even earned some first-team Asante Samuel  reps on pass-rushing situations on Thursday morning.

The rising Clay Habor made a crowd-pleasing one-handed catch on a Mike Vick dart at the left hash. The ball just stuck to the outstretched hand of the rookie tight end for a 20-plus-yard gain. Harbor has been very impressive the last few days.
