Despite an initially dire prognosis that included surgery or radiation for a brain condition known as AVM, Eagles defensive Mike Patterson could be returning to practice soon, according to agent J.R. Rickert.

Rickert writes that Patterson has been released from the hospital, and that he’ll be joining his teammates in training camp soon. He suffered a seizure at training camp on Wednesday.

“Patterson is scheduled to see a neurologist in Philadelphia in the next day or so,” Rickert says. “We anticipate that he will be cleared to resume normal team activities within a few days.”

It’s an amazing turn of events, and we’ll continue to track Patterson’s progress.
