Runyan is coming off of knee surgery, while Stewart Bradley just had his.
As reported yesterday, Runyan would be cleared medically today, and he has in fact been cleared.
Well, sorta.
He has been cleared to run and work out, but won't be cleared to hit anyone for about another two weeks. For a guy like Runyan, that's got to be driving him crazy.
It's no secret that Runyan wants to go to a team where he can start. He's not coming back for a 14th season with the intention of riding the pine and playing some sort of player-coach from the sidelines. This is a guy with too much love of the game and too much passion to ever be a backup.
Personally, I think Runyan is a Hall of Fame guy, and I've said that on multiple occasions. I hope the best for him in the rest of his career, whether it's in Philly or not.
Also, in some more semi-good knee surgery news, Stewart Bradley had successful surgery in Alabama with the go-to guy in dealing with sports injuries, Dr. James Andrews. Andrews has been the go-to guy for a while, even operating on Randall Cunningham back in '91 when he tore up his knee.
Still no word from the Eagles whether or not Bradley will head to I.R., but that seems to be his most likely landing spot in the coming days. The Eagles are already cutting it close for numbers, and probably won't spend a roster spot waiting on a guy who has little chance of returning this year.
