Jason Peters says he is playing this week

ARLINGTON -- Jason Peters emerged from the Eagles' locker room looking a lot like a man ready to play football. That's exactly what he'll do on Sunday, when the Dolphins visit the Eagles.

"I am going to play," Peters said as he ambled toward the Eagles' bus at AT&T Stadium. "I was going to give it a shot today, but we decided just to be smart."

Peters, the team's star left tackle, missed the Eagles' win at Dallas with back problems suffered the week before the Eagles' bye. It has been a season plagued by nagging injuries for Peters, who watched third-year right tackle Lane Johnson switch sides and play controversial Pro Bowl defensive end Greg Hardy to a standstill.
