Reid: Eagles' Bradley could return for playoffs; Jean-Gilles 'OK'

Eagles coach Andy Reid told reporters that middle linebacker Stewart Bradley, who's battling an elbow injury, could be ready to play against the Green Bay Packers in Sunday's NFC Wild-Card Game, according to the *Philadelphia Inquirer*.

"We just need to see how he does over the next couple of days," Reid said after the team's 14-13 loss to the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday.

Bradley, in his third NFL season, started 12 games for the Eagles before dislocating his elbow in the team's first meeting with the Cowboys on Dec. 12. Bradley registered 60 tackles and an interception before the injury.

Eagles rookie backup linebacker Jamar Chaney performed well in Bradley's place, with 23 combined tackles in two games, creating a nice problem for the team as they prepare for the playoffs.

"It's not like it's been a dramatic amount of time," Bradley said of his absence. "I have trust in the team's training staff. If they give me the OK and say it's good, then I'm ready to go."

Guard Max Jean-Gilles' ankle injury in the first quarter isn't considered serious, but his status against the Packers is uncertain.

"It's the opposite ankle (left) than the one he had the surgery on (in 2009)," Reid said Sunday. "He's moving around OK right now."
