From Sal Paolantonio of ESPN.com:

Anybody need a right tackle who has started 192 consecutive NFL games?

Former Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Jon Runyan began running for the first time on his surgically repaired right knee after his surgeon, Dr. James Andrews, medically cleared him to begin putting repetitive pressure on his leg -- with the goal of working out for an NFL team soon.

"I'm cleared to do everything," said Runyan, "except hit people. And I'll be able to do that in about two weeks."

Runyan ran for the first time since playing in the NFC Championship Game in January, his last game in an Eagles uniform. In February, Runyan had microfracture surgery in February to repair the cartilage in his right knee.

Eagles head coach Andy Reid did not rule out Runyan's return to the Eagles.
