Bethlehem, Pa. ? Ten days after suffering a seizure, Eagles defensive lineman Mike Patterson was back on the practice fields at Lehigh, although his participation was limited to conditioning.

Coach Andy Reid said the defensive tackle was still being evaluated by doctors and had permission only to work out. But the coach intimated that Patterson could return to action soon.

“He’s got to get himself back into shape,” Reid said. “It’ll probably be a week or so as we’re looking at it now.”

Patterson declined an interview request but said that he felt good. A day after his seizure, the Eagles said the likely cause was an arteriovenous malformation near Patterson’s brain. Patterson’s agent, J.R. Rickert, said Friday his client was likely to play football again this season.

Burress talks shooting, prison

New York — Plaxico Burress says in an interview for HBO’s “Real Sports” that he “lost count” of how many times he cried in jail and didn’t know who New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was until after the wide receiver accidentally shot himself in 2008.

Burress, now with the Jets after signing a one-year, $3 million deal with them two weeks ago, went to prison for 20 months on a gun charge after the incident. He says during the interview, which airs Tuesday, that he didn’t realize at first that he had shot himself in a leg in a Manhattan club until he saw his white sneakers turning red.

The interview includes Burress’ attorney, Benjamin Brafman, and his wife, Tiffany, also an attorney, who predicted her husband would end up having to serve jail time.

Harbaugh: QB spot up for grabs

San Francisco — Surprise! There’s another quarterback competition for the San Francisco 49ers.

Rookie Colin Kaepernick will get his shot to challenge incumbent Alex Smith for the Niners’ starting job — though Smith has been the strong favorite all along and probably still is. Smith has taken all the reps with the first team when he has been on the practice field, too.

While Jim Harbaugh still considers it Smith’s spot to lose, the first-year coach and former NFL QB said Saturday nobody has earned the position in training camp thus far. He hasn’t said when he will name a starter.

In addition, San Francisco will consider adding an experienced veteran backup quarterback to the mix.

“That’s a possibility,” Harbaugh said, noting a decision would be based “on the right person available.”
