PHILADELPHIA -- Parris Campbell had the inside track for the Philadelphia Eagles third wide receiver job when training camp started. He has some catching up to do. 

A groin injury sidelined Campbell for several practices as Britain Covey, Johnny Wilson, and John Ross emerged as candidates for the third wide receiver job. In terms of the pecking order, Covey and Wilson have passed Campbell. 

With a week of practice and one more preseason game to go, there's one way Campbell finds his way back into the pole position for a job that was once his.

"I need reps. Reps, reps, reps," Campbell said. "I think I missed six practices. That's a ton of time, so getting back out there, getting in the flow of things, I'm a little rusty here and there and some little detail things I need to clean up and be on top of.
