Eagles call Reno Mahe back to the nest

So now we know that "not necessarily" means "probably" in the most recent version of Andy Reid's conceal-my-thoughts dictionary.
Asked yesterday if the reports were true that the Eagles planned to bring back Reno Mahe in an effort to avoid a repeat of Sunday's punt-return disasters, the head coach said, "Not necessarily." By late afternoon, the Eagles had contacted Mahe in Utah and asked him to get on an airplane bound for Philadelphia.
"I just got the call about a half-hour ago," Mahe said from his cell phone around 5 p.m. "All they said was we're flying you out here and we'll see you soon. I'm just excited to come back."
The Eagles declined to comment on whether they would sign Mahe to handle punt returns, but all signs point in that direction.
Mahe, a four-year veteran who was the team's primary punt and kick returner last season, was a free agent and did not get picked up by another team. He said he did not get overly depressed about the fact that his career might be over after four seasons.
"I've never been in this situation before, but I've heard so much about the NFL being a business," Mahe said. "You always have to have a plan for the future, and I was just trying to enjoy life."
When Mahe was first reached by phone early yesterday afternoon, he said he had not been contacted by the Eagles, but he was definitely hoping to hear from them after watching former teammates Greg Lewis and J.R. Reed fumble away punts that resulted in 10 points for the Green Bay Packers during the Eagles' deflating 16-13 defeat on opening day.
"I keep getting calls from 215 numbers thinking they're from the team, but they're from the media," Mahe said. "Right now, I'm just working out back in Utah."
