Wide receiver Chad Johnson is coming to Philadelphia, Philly.com reports.

Last night at 12:37 a.m., the troubled wide receiver, who was released from the Dolphins last month after a domestic battery incident with then-wife Evelyn Lozada, tweeted the following: "5 hours past my bed time... if I miss this flight to Philly in the morning it'd definitely be a pisstified moment..."

Sure, that doesn't tell us much, and Johnson didn't expand on why he was coming to Philly, but with Jeremy Maclin suffering his second injury in as many games and Riley Cooper still out, it would make sense to assume he is going to work out for the Eagles.

Johnson, 33, caught just 15 passes for 276 yards and a touchdown in New England last season. However, in his last two seasons with the Bengals (2009, 2010), Johnson caught 139 passes for 1,878 yards and 13 touchdowns.
