Jon Dorenbos Reaches Semi-Finals Of America's Got Talent

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Eagles long snapper Jon Dorenbos is headed to the semifinals of 'America's Got Talent.'

Dorenbos dazzled the judges for a third straight time earlier this week, earning enough votes to reach next week's semifinals. Dorenbos was excused from Training Camp on Wednesday.

"Obviously he went through this show and he'll be back [Thursday] for the conditioning test," Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said of Dorenbos. "We'll just go day by day and just see where it ends up in the next couple of days.

"I'll tell you what, gosh, pulling for him," Pederson said. "He represents us, the organization, this city on that show like a professional. Obviously his talent is something I think that when football is said and done for him, I think he's definitely got a career in Las Vegas or Atlantic City or wherever. But yeah, I'm pulling for him and excited for where he could go."

Dorenbos will continue to travel back and forth between Philly and L.A. in order to compete on the show. Fortunately for Dorenbos, the Eagles are off Tuesday, August 2nd.
