Who returned to practice, and who are dealing with new injuries ahead of the Eagles joint practices with the Browns and preseason Week 2 The Eagles are holding a light practice on Tuesday, just hours before two days of joint practice sessions with the Cleveland Browns at the NovaCare Complex. Philadelphia has the NFL's best offensive line, and that depth will be tested with Landon Dickerson nursing a meniscus injury. With the Wednesday morning session set to begin, we're looking at who returned to practice, and who is dealing with new injuries ahead of the Eagles' joint practices with the Browns and preseason Week 2 Out Elijah Cooks - shoulder Cooks had to leave the team's preseason opener against the Bengals on a cart after being injured. Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Cooks suffered a shoulder injury and had an MRI on Friday to determine the extent of the injury.

Montrell Johnson - hamstring Johnson is working through a hamstring injury, which forced him to observe Thursday's preseason opener against the Bengals from the sidelines.

Byron Young - groin Young has been battling a groin injury, but returned to practice. LIMITED Zack Baun - back Baun has been listed as limited after missing seven practices with a back injury.

Astros fans turn on Alex Bregman in Houston return with Red Sox
No love for a familiar face. The Houston Astros did not fully welcome back Alex Bregman to Daikin Park as the former homegrown third baseman and two-time World Series winner was showered with boos in his second plate appearance Monday night. Advertisement Bregman received a warm welcome initially for his first game back in Houston, as the Astros prepared a video tribute for a key piece of their title teams who also finished second in AL MVP voting in 2019. That affection quickly turned sour when Bregman took former teammate Cristian Javier deep to left field in the first inning for a two-run home run. Bregman heard some boos from fans as he rounded the bases with the Red Sox taking a 2-0 lead. 3 Alex Bregman received plenty of love during a video tribute before things turned sour. Getty Images Advertisement When Bregman returned in the third inning, all of that goodwill had evaporated. 'Interesting reaction the second time around for Alex Bregman,' play-by-play analyst Todd Kalas said on the Space City Home Network. 3 Alex Bregman celebrates hitting a home run against his former team. Getty Images Advertisement 'Not shocked,' color analyst Geoff Blum added. 'You do damage against the Astros that will immediately put you in sour favor of the faithful who showed up. Pretty good crowd tonight to watch Bregman coming back, and Carlos Correa, maybe waiting for a ground ball to third base. That would be kind of interesting to write into the scorebook.' Bregman signed a three-year contract worth $120 million as the Red Sox decided to bring in Bregman and eventually trade away Rafael Devers at the relationship with their longtime third baseman soured over a position change brought on by Bregman's signing. 3 Alex Bregman was viciously booed by his former fans.
