Pederson was spotted in the lobby of the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix with a walking boot on his left leg and using a Roll-A-Bout to take the weight off of it by Philly.com's Les Bowen in advance of the annual league meetings which start on Monday.

Pederson is scheduled

to speak on Tuesday at the meetings, along with team owner Jeffery Lurie. Executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman will meet with reporters on Monday.
