"For the second time in two months, Ronnie Brown has become an Eagle.

The circumstances are just a little bit different this time.

Brown, one of the Eagles' ballyhooed training camp Pro Bowl acquisitions, was returned to the team on Wednesday, one day after being traded to the Lions for Jerome Harrison after Harrison failed his physical with the Eagles.

The Eagles shipped Brown to Detroit seconds before Tuesday's 4 p.m. NFL trade deadline in exchange for Harrison, who spent most of last year with the Eagles and averaged 6.0 yards on 40 carries. The Eagles also received the Lions' seventh-round pick in 2013.

But Harrison failed his physical in Philadelphia on Wednesday, which means the pick and Harrison go back to Detroit and Brown returns to Philadelphia."
