New Eagles linebacker Paul Worrilow leaves field on cart after collision

Paul Worrilow, a free-agent veteran the Eagles signed this offseason, collided with fellow linebacker Corey Nelson during OTA drills Tuesday at the NovaCare Complex and crumpled to the turf.

Worrliow, 28, stayed down, seemingly in pain, as team orthopedist Peter DeLuca probed his right knee. Teammates then helped Worrilow onto a cart, and he was taken away for treatment.

The Eagles practiced indoors Tuesday because of showers in South Philadelphia, an arrangement coach Doug Pederson conceded would be “snug.”

Worrilow is a self-made player from Wilmington, Del., who walked on at Delaware, then became one of the Blue Hens’ all-time greats.
