The Eagles started their second week of organized team activities Tuesday by practicing without 13 players on the 90-man roster.
Tackle Jason Peters, punter Donnie Jones, and defensive end Marcus Smith were absent for the second consecutive week. All three players have so far skipped the voluntary OTAs.
Running backs Darren Sproles and LeGarrette Blount were absent for family reasons. Defensive tackle Tim Jernigan, cornerback Ron Brooks, and defensive end Alex McCalister missed the session for personal reasons. Defensive end Vinny Curry was ill, and wide receiver Jordan Matthews sat out with knee tendinitis. The Eagles are being careful with Matthews.
