The Facts:
Ritchie signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday after missing most of last season with a knee injury. He tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in Week 3 last year and sat out the rest of the season. The Eagles used Josh Parry, a converted linebacker, to replace Ritchie. Parry started 14 games, including the playoffs.

Ritchie, who had 129 receptions for 1,026 yards and four TDs in five seasons as a Raider, has 21 catches for 122 yards and four touchdowns in two seasons with the Eagles. As for his role in 2005, Ritchie is still working back towards the condition he was prior to his injury. "It's been awhile since I've been able to feel normal, but I'm getting better and I really have to hit it hard this offseason as far as preparing myself for next year," he said.
