The fallout continues after a video recently surfaced featuring Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper using a racial slur during a country music concert back in June.
Riley Cooper was fined by the Eagles after his slur became known Wednesday. He left the team Friday to seek counseling.
Eagles coach Chip Kelly has said Cooper’s roster spot is not in jeopardy. Cooper has just 46 catches and five touchdowns in three years with the Eagles, but had been practicing with the starters after Jeremy Maclin’s season-ending knee injury.
Asked when Cooper will return to the Eagles, Kelly said there’s no time frame.
“When we do, we’ll make sure we announce it so it’s not going to be a surprise to anybody,” Kelly told Espn.com.
