PHILADELPH­IA >> Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham turned himself in to authoritie­s in Miami Beach Monday and charged on suspicion of battery/aggravated assault, per NFL.com.

The 6-2, 241-pound Bradham reportedly was among a group of six people who argued with a hotel worker about an umbrella they paid for, the confrontat­ion turning physical, according to NBC 10 in Miami.

Bradham paid for the umbrella with a credit card and a phone was found at the scene, according to reports.

Bradham is scheduled to report to training camp with the rest of the Eagles’ veterans Wednesday. The team has a meeting scheduled for 3 p.m. which Bradham is expected to attend, per an NFL source.

The Eagles had no comment other than a statement:

“We are aware of the recent incident involving Nigel Bradham in Miami. We have been in contact with Nigel and the proper authoritie­s. Due to the ongoing legal process, we will have no further comment at this time.”

It’s the second time over the offseason an Eagles player has had a brush with authoritie­s. In May wide receiver Nelson Agholor was accused of assaulting a dancer at a strip club, although the Philadelph­ia district attorney’s office decided there wasn’t enough evidence to bring charges.
