The Eagles starting linebacker didn't contact the team regarding his disappearance, telling them he was sick when a member Adolis Garcia Jersey of the coaching staff called him.Bradham declined a ride from the Eagles, who offered to send a car to Philadelphia and pick him up. Bradham didn't want to travel on an upset stomach."I trust Nigel," Pederson said. "He and I had a great conversation. We...uhhh...quite frankly, it's behind us. I'll just tell you this, we had a very, very, without getting into detail because I'm not going to, great conversation Monday. He's focused on the just like I am and we put it behind us." Bob Gibson Jersey Pederson said the decision not to suspend him was an "internal i sue."The Eagles didn't have any knowledge of Bradham not feeling well prior to his absence. Bradham, who wasn't going to play in the preseason finale, attended meetings and the team walk-through the day prior, making the absence even more bizarre.
