BETHLEHEM, Pa. (CBS) – Asante Samuel returned to the Eagles Monday after being away for personal reasons.

Now that Samuel has returned to the Eagles, newly Acquired Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is eager to work with his new teammate:

“I sit back and just think about it with us three. The pressure is going to be on because of the high level we play at, but the main thing is just to get out there and do what we’re supposed to do.”

While some fans are wondering if Samuel might be traded due the arrival of Rodgers-Cromartie and Nnamdi Asomugha, defensive coordinator Juan Castillo says all three are needed in a pass-happy NFL.
