Eagles coach Andy Reid revealed Tuesday DT Mike Patterson is "doing pretty good" following his recent brain operation.

Patterson recently had the arteriovenous malformation (tangle of blood vessels) that caused his August seizure removed. His recovery could take anywhere from 1-6 months, but he is expected to be ready for camp. Patterson will make $2.1 million in 2012 after tallying 35 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 15 games this season.
