PrintSenior Damik Scafe, the Eagles most experienced defensive tackle, is back at Boston College and is expected to take part in conditioning drills, according to a Tweet from EA's Eric Hoffses. The return of both Scafe and Ramsey bolsters what was shaping up to be a very thin Eagles defensive line.

Getting Scafe back so early in camp definitely comes as a surprise to most Eagles fans. Just this morning, the Herald blog, in reporting that Kaleb Ramsey had returned to camp, added that they didn't expect Scafe back until the end of camp. Scafe is recovering from successful back surgery in the offseason.
As per NCAA rules, both Scafe and Ramsey will have to practice the first two days with helmets and no pads and the second two days with helmets and shells. So both DTs won't participate in tomorrow's first team scrimmage.
If Scafe returns to form, the Eagles will get an immediate boost at defensive tackle. Scafe and Ramsey will compete with sophomores Bryan Murray, Mike Goodman Jr., Conor O'Neal and redshirt freshman Dillon Quinn for spots on the Eagles fall depth chart.

Goodman
If Scafe and Ramsey are actually healthy and contributing, I would guess Goodman gets moved back to the o-line. I don’t think we often go more than 5 deep at DT, and we would have Scafe, Ramsey, Murray, O’Neil, and Quinn all ahead of Goodman.
Though I would imagine health remains more a concern on the defensive line. We might see Goodman stay on the D-line as an insurance policy for some of those guys. The two-deep on the offensive line is filled with a lot of true and RS freshmen, but I think the backups won’t see as much action as the backups on the D-line.
