well that didn't take long...


Wide receiver Riley Cooper, who had been excused from team activities after using a racial slur at a concert in June, was back with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday and will practice with the team and play in its preseason game Friday against the New England Patriots, league sources said.

The Eagles had excused Cooper on Friday and sent him for training after video of his remark, made at a Kenny Chesney concert in June, surfaced last week.

The team said Sunday that Cooper informed the club of threats he had received on Twitter before the public release of the video and that he did not know who made them. The team has notified the league's security department.

Cooper was fined by the Eagles after his slur became known Wednesday.
