"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Eagles wideout Riley Cooper has returned to the team. (Drew Hallowell/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper returned to the team Tuesday after an excused absence and will take the field with the team in a joint practice with the New England Patriots.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cooper was excused Aug. 2 to seek counseling after he was caught on video making a racial slur toward a security guard at a concert in July. The video didn't surface until last week. The third-year pro was fined an undisclosed amount by the team and has apologized to teammates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quarterback Michael Vick has publicly said he's forgiven Cooper, however running back LeSean McCoy said he \"can't respect a guy like that.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Commissioner Roger Goodell said the NFL will not issue additional punishment to Cooper.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KING: Why I see Cooper getting a second chance&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cooper is expected to meet with the media later today. The former fifth-round pick started five games for Philadelphia last season, catching 23 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SI WIRE: Loss of Jeremy Maclin stopping Eagles from cutting Cooper&lt;/strong&gt;\nhttps://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/364758855491661825&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
