Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper, who was excused from the team last week after being seen on a video using a racial slur, returned to practice Tuesday.
Cooper was fined by the Eagles and sent to get outside counseling after using the slur at a Kenny Chesney concert in June. Footage of the incident surfaced last week. He apologized for the remark.
The Eagles announced Tuesday morning that Cooper was scheduled to practice and ESPN reported that the team plans www.49ersfootballprostore.com/Authentic-Aldon-Smith-Jersey to use him in their exhibition opener Friday against the New England Patriots.
