Wed Feb 26 2014 | 13:49 | Eagles LT Jason Peters had finger surgery |
Eagles LT Jason Peters underwent finger surgery following the season. |
Peters skipped the Pro Bowl because he needed to repair a finger fracture/dislocation, per his agent. The 32-year-old played with the injury for much of the season but just taped his fingers up. He also battled shoulder, quad and pectoral issues in 2013, but didn't miss a start. With a new five-year, $51.3 million contract in hand, Peters will be full-go for the offseason program. |

Sat Jan 25 2014 | 18:53 | Jason Peters could receive contract extension |
The Philadelphia Inquirer expects the Eagles to consider signing LT Jason Peters to a contract extension this offseason. |
Peters is currently set to make $9.65 million in 2014, the final year of his contract. He was able to stay healthy for all 16 games this season and graded out as the No. 4 left tackle by Pro Football Focus. Already the highest paid offensive lineman in the league, Peters is set up for one last big contract. He could command a deal similar to the $15 million guaranteed Ryan Clady received from the Broncos last offseason. |

Sun Nov 17 2013 | 11:23 | Peters in, Fletcher and Kendricks out for PHL |
Jason Peters (quad) is active for Sunday's Week 11 game against the Redskins. |
Peters got just one day of practice in this week, but the former All-Pro is ready to protect Nick Foles' blind side. However, they'll be without top corner Bradley Fletcher (pectoral) and speed linebacker Mychal Kendricks (knee), leaving Roc Carmichael and Najee Goode to start. With the weather in Philly fine, it's a good spot for the Redskins passing game. The rest of the Eagles inactives: QB Michael Vick, WR Damaris Johnson, S Earl Wolff, LB Jake Knott and T Dennis Kelly. |

Wed Nov 13 2013 | 11:01 | Jason Peters still not practicing |
Jason Peters (quad) remained out of practice Wednesday. |
At this point, it would be a surprise if the Eagles had their starting left tackle for Sunday's game against the Redskins. They're preparing journeyman Allen Barbre to start. Peters hasn't returned his his All-Pro form since his Achilles' tear, but he'd still be a major loss. The former Bill is ProFootballFocus' No. 22 tackle among 76 qualifiers so far this season. |

Per Pro Football Focus, he's allowed just one sack. Coach Chip Kelly also praised Peters' run blocking. |

Peters was forced from Sunday's game late in the third quarter with a pectoral injury, and did not return. His exact level of participation isn't yet available, but the fact that he was able to practice is a good sign. Barring a setback, Peters should play in Week 10 against the Packers. |

Peters briefly left Sunday's win at Tampa with a shoulder issue, but was able to finish out the game. He's not playing at the All-Pro level he was prior to his two Achilles' tendon tears, but he is a big reason the Eagles have the league's best run-blocking unit. |

Thu Aug 22 2013 | 08:56 | Jason Peters finally ready to play |
Jason Peters will play in Saturday's preseason game, his first game action since the 2011 season. |
Peterson has battled back from two right Achilles' tendon ruptures. Even if he's 80 percent of what he was, it's huge for the Eagles. In 2011, Peters graded out as ProFootballFocus' best tackle by a wide margin and was named a first-team All-Pro. An offensive line of Peters, Evan Mathis, Jason Kelce, Todd Herremans and rookie Lane Johnson has a chance to be one of the league's best. It's great news for the chances of Michael Vick staying upright this season. |

Eagles LT Jason Peters was arrested on Wednesday for drag racing and resisting a police officer by flight. |
Peters and another sedan were caught drag racing at 4:45 a.m. Wednesday morning. When the police attempted to stop them, the sedan pulled over but Peters tried to flee. The report states Peters hit speeds in excess of 100 mph as he attempted to escape, but was unsuccessful. The arrest will surely be a headache for Peters off the field, but shouldn't cause him to miss any time on it. |

Thu Jun 6 2013 | 08:52 | Jason Peters insists he's completely healthy |
Eagles LT Jason Peters (Achilles') said he if doesn't return to form, he'll retire. |
It's a little bit of hyperbole from Peters, but he wanted to make the point that he feels 100 percent despite tearing his Achilles' tendon twice in the last year. Before going down, he was arguably the best left tackle in the league. "It looks like he has never been through an Achilles injury to me," teammate Evan Mathis said. "He was at his true form. If you know football at all, you would see that yourself. He looks great. He looks phenomenal." The Eagles' offensive line is bubbling with athletic talent. |
