Three starters – wide receiver Derrick Mason (dislocated left shoulder), free safety Ed Reed (neck) and cornerback Samari Rolle (neck surgery) – returned to practice today in limited fashion. Rolle no longer wore a sling on his left arm and when asked by reporters about his arm, he held up both arms in a touchdown pose.

Starting left offensive tackle Jared Gaither (right shoulder) missed practice for the second straight day. If Gaither can’t play against the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday, Adam Terry (right ankle) would fill Gaither’s position, and Willie Anderson – who was limited in practice due to a sprained left ankle – would start at right tackle.

Defensive tackle Lamar Divens (shoulder) and rookie guard David Hale (thigh) were also limited.

Tight end Daniel Wilcox (thigh) and rookie safety Tom Zbikowski (thumb/thigh) were upgraded to full participation after being limited Wednesday.

For the Eagles, running back Brian Westbrook (knee/ankle) missed practice for the second consecutive day. Free safety Brian Dawkins was limited due to a groin injury.
