Philadelphia Eagles DT Fletcher Cox returns to full practice, hopeful to return

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox was a full participant in Tuesday's practice after sitting out the last two games with a calf injury.

Cox, who was listed as limited in Monday's walk-through session, told reporters that he was uncertain if he would play for the Eagles (4-1) in Thursday's game against the Carolina Panthers (4-1).

The All-Pro injured his calf late in the second quarter of a 27-24 win over the New York Giants on Sept. 24.

Cox has four tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in three games this season. The 26-year-old Cox got off to a strong start in 2016 with four sacks in his first six games before registering just 2.5 more in the following 10.
