Jalen Mills definitely has noticed a difference in Ronald Darby this spring.
“He has more pep in his step,’’ Mills said of his fellow Eagles cornerback. “He’s finally 100 percent healthy. He’s moving a lot better. Has a lot more fluidity. Hopefully he’ll stay that way.’’
Darby, who was acquired in a trade with Buffalo last August for wide receiver Jordan Matthews and a third-round pick, dislocated his right ankle in the second quarter of the Eagles’ first regular-season game against the Washington Redskins.
He managed to return in mid-November after missing eight games, but admitted that the ankle hampered him the rest of the season.
