PHILADELPHIA -- Wide receiver Riley Cooper returned to the Philadelphia Eagles Tuesday after a four-day excused absence to undergo sensitivity training after he was caught on film yelling a racial slur before a Kenny Chesney concert. Cooper, in his fourth year out of the University of Florida, seemed remorseful during an eight-minute press conference with the media after the Eagles and New England Patriots began what will be a three-day practice routine before Friday nights preseason opener. "Its great to be back doing what I love to do, play football," Cooper said. "I realize being in the NFL you have responsibility to behave on and off the field. I realize that." "I realize how many people I hurt, how many families I hurt, how many kids I hurt. Its going to be tough. Im going to live with this every day the rest of my life. Its one of those things you cant let affect your play on the field." Video of Coopers racial slur surfaced Wednesday. He was immediately fined an undisclosed amount by the team, but was not suspended. Ironically, two days earlier he was promoted to the starting lineup after Jeremy Maclin suffered a season-ending injury. Last Friday, Eagles coach Chip Kelly announced that Cooper was given time off to seek counselling. Kelly did not put a timetable on his return. Four days later, he was back at practice and caught two touchdown passes against the Patriots defence. "My concern wasnt how he practiced," Kelly said after practice. "Its just him with the team itself and to get the chance to make sure he got to talk to every single guy so that they understood how we felt, what he did, and understand that hes truly sorry for what he did." Cooper said he talked to every one of his teammates, face to face, and apologized. "I told them I dont want you to forgive me. That puts the burden on you. I want it all on me. I apologized," he said. "They could tell it was from the heart. They know Im not that kind of person. It feels good to have the support of the guys." After one of his touchdown passes, he got a chest bump from teammate and fellow wide receiver Jason Avant, who is an African-American, and high fives from several other teammates. "I took a few days," he said. "Its been a tough, tough road. I talked to Chip. He asked me if Im ready to come back. I told him I was. I wanted to get back on the field and get back out here with my guys." Kelly emphasized that since the leave was an excused absence and not a suspension, Cooper was able to return once he felt he was ready. "I deferred to who he went to go visit with," Kelly said. "Again, it wasnt like he was suspended and he had to go through a set of things to come back. We just excused him, because everybody that met with him -- and Riley himself -- felt that he needed to go talk to someone." Kelly felt that going forward the team is in a good position with Cooper "Weve got a pretty good pulse on where we are right now," he said. "Our players have been fantastic with us in terms of feedback, so its really certainly a situation that, as I said, isnt something that we just kind of put in the back seat and get moving forward. Well make sure we keep our eyes and ears open and continue to monitor the situation." That includes owner Jeffrey Lurie, who issued the following statement, Tuesday. "I want to make this clear; the words Riley Cooper used were totally unacceptable. His words may have been directed at one person but they hurt everyone," Lurie wrote. "Riley has apologized to the team and community and has made a personal commitment to work hard to try and gain their trust and earn his position on the team." ------ NOTES: The practices with New England have allowed Eagles safety Patrick Chung to reunite with teammates from his Patriot days.

Kerry, Two nights after the Scott-Eriksson incident in Buffalo, the Bruins returned home to play San Jose. In that game, Zdeno Chara put a check on Tommy Wingels that clearly targeted his head. CLEVELAND -- R.A. Dickeys knuckleball can be puzzling. Same for the Blue Jays. Expected to contend this season in the AL East, Toronto was held to two hits by rookie Danny Salazar -- making his big league debut -- and the up-and-down Blue Jays lost 4-2 to the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday. After winning 11 straight, the Blue Jays have gone 6-11 and remain stuck in last place in arguably baseballs toughest division. "Were around that edge," manager John Gibbons said. "Weve got to start winning some games." Dickey (8-10) was in control for five innings, but the right-hander lost command of his tricky pitch in the sixth, when he hit a batter, walked two and gave up an RBI single to Lonnie Chisenhall. A year ago at the All-Star break, Dickey was 12-1 and on his way to winning the NL Cy Young Award. This season, hes never been dominant and has only recently been effective. "The last four or five weeks Ive really felt good," Dickey said. "Ive had one rough start in there, but other than that Ive really been good as far as the way Ive felt. I anticipate a pretty strong (second) half." Salazar pitched six superb innings -- he held Toronto without a hit for the first five -- and overpowered the Blue Jays, who struggled to catch up to a fastball that registered 99 mph on the stadium radar gun. The hard-throwing right-hander struck out seven and showed poise from his first pitch to his last. The Blue Jays have been struggling against any pitcher lately. They were shut out in the series opener and needed a late rally to pull out Wednesdays win. Toronto scored just seven runs in the series, and one of the ALs most powerful teams -- the Blue Jays are second in homers -- didnt hit one long ball. "We didnt hit a home run in the series," Gibbons said. "When you look at it, when we win, we hit home runs. Our bats have gone cold in the last week. Weve had some spurts but overall were not swinging it real well." Salazar was brought up for just one start. Hes headed back to Triple-A Columbus, but it may not be long before Salazar is back in Cleveland on a more permanent basis. "We think the kid has a very bright future," Francona said. Chris Perez gave up a run in a shaky ninth but got his 11th save as the Indians beat Dickey for the second time this season. Asdrubal Cabrera homered in the first off Dickey and Chisenhall drove in a run in Clevelands two-run sixth, which began with Dickey hitting Michael Brantley. Dickey then walked Ryan Raburn, and one out later, he walked slumping Mark Reynolds. Chisenhall then hit a bblooper to left with the bases loaded that hung in the air long enough that the runners had to freeze.dddddddddddd When it dropped, Brantley sprinted home and left fielder Rajai Davis, thinking he had a chance at a forceout at home, sailed his throw to the backstop. The ball ricocheted toward the plate, and Raburn scored from second before the Blue Jays could retrieve it. "He air-mailed it," Gibbons said of Davis throw. Dickey was more upset with a few of his own tosses that inning. "The one that hit Brantley took off," Dickey said. "It went straight left. It wasnt a bad knuckleball. The walk to Raburn is the one at-bat the whole day I wish I could have had back." Jose Bautista hit an RBI double in the sixth for Torontos only run off Salazar, who acknowledged being nervous during his pregame bullpen warmup. But once on the mound, Salazar was unflappable -- and for a while, unhittable. "We couldnt do anything with Salazar," Gibbons said. "Hes got a great arm. I tip my hat to the young kid." Salazar held Toronto without a hit until the sixth, when Josh Thole, batting just .108 slapped a 1-2 pitch into left. Salazar received a nice ovation from Cleveland fans, who havent seen many quality starts lately. Munenori Kawasaki sacrificed and Salazar retired Jose Reyes on a liner to second. Bautista tied it at 1 with a double. Down three, the Blue Jays rallied and made it interesting against Perez in the ninth. With two outs, Adam Lind doubled and Colby Rasmus hit an RBI single to make it 4-2. Perez walked pinch-hitter J.P. Arencibia and Davis followed with a liner to left that Brantley snagged in front of the warning track for the final out. Toronto didnt string many hits together in the series and Bautista (1 for 11) and Edwin Encarnacion (1 for 10) went a combined 2-for-21. "Those are the guys the team revolves around but two guys cant do it all the time," Gibbons said. We were in that game but we couldnt get that key blast." NOTES: Blue Jays INF Brett Lawrie (sprained left ankle) played his second straight game at second base on a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.
