Good news for tight end Alex Smith and center Jamaal Jackson, who happened onto DeSean Jackson's celebratory spike in the season opener at Carolina.
Their $10,000 fines were reduced to $7,000 and $5,000, respectively. Wide receiver Kevin Curtis had his $10k fine taken totally off the books.
Running back Brian Westbrook (concussion) worked out Thursday before getting a bite to eat.
And DeSean Jackson spoke to the media only long enough this morning to say he felt "good."
Also the Eagles are leery of crowd noise at the Georgia Dome.

Jim Johnson passes away
Former Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson’s courageous battle with melanoma is over.
Johnson, 68, passed away Tuesday afternoon according to the Eagles.
Johnson took a turn for the worse recently according to sources, and the muffled talk at Eagles training camp Tuesday morning was he was fighting to stay alive.
Head coach Andy Reid visited Johnson Monday night according to a source.
Except for a stiff back, Johnson was the picture of health before the melanoma recurred. The end was difficult.
“He’s in a better place,” an Eagles assistant coach said.
Eagles president Joe Banner and head coach Andy Reid are going to address the media this evening.
Johnson stepped aside as defensive coordinator after 10-plus years last week, and protégé Sean McDermott took over.
Johnson had been unable to coach since the minicamp in early May.
